Wonder why this Doctor Walker is nosing into Paige's life. Who she associates with should be her own business.

It sounds like he stepped out of another time frame, a time before the Civil War.

Her race should make no difference, she is human just like him. There are still people around who behave in this manner. In fact, some treat people of their own race the same way, too. They are called snobs. This behavior rubs many the wrong way.

Aha, he may be spying on Paige. It's awful what he said to Nala. He'll be more trouble than he is worth if this continues. What is Paige gonna do???

Hullo Barbara Wilkey ....

This is another short but interesting chapter in your story which I enjoyed reading. There are just two small changes to recommend ...
* You have - Nala, come sit by me. This is not grammatically correct. I suggest - Nala - come and sit next to me.
* You have - I better get Mr. Cash some tea. I suggest :
I had better get Mr. Cash some tea ....
Now, I look forward to the next chapter.
Love from .... Nanette Mary.

    Thank you for the kind review. I will check those areas, but they are dialogue.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Good intrigue leading into the next chapter. I'm not sure how they are going to deal with Dr. Walker's racism without putting Nala and her family as risk. I'm sure he's not the only one in town.

Barbara,

The tension continues to escalate now that Dr. Walker has introduced racism to the group. Nala is frightened, as she should be, while anger is building in Cash, Billy Joe and Paige. The chapter is well-written and a riveting read.

Exactly, what did he - add comma
Excellent dialogue that conveys well the attitudes of the speakers
You make a good point that it is easy for a liberal white person in a comfortable position to make waves, but it is the poor black person who pays the price of their complaints if things aren't handled right. One can't just go storming into the guy's office and tell him off when he and his friends in high places hold such power over Nala. Brooke

I swear the more I read the more I fall for Cash and Billy Joe. They are definitely the real Good Ole Boys. Love em.

As I said before, I think Walker is stalking Paige and may try something really nasty. Only you know the truth, but I don't trust his sorry rear.

Another great chapter, go mamma!

Now I get it. I didn't realize Nala was black. Sadly, there are still many people (not just in the south) that refuse to accept change. They will always live in the past. This must be a real shock for Paige, as it was for me.

Well done

Minor suggestions:

Who do we need to pay a visit to - drop the to at the end

Keeping the pace and tempo going beautifully with the dialogue.

Well done
