I'm starting to believe this Audrey has ice in her veins. After dropping the news about Brian as if it was a piece of information secondary to her main purpose in calling the meeting, she asks how their lives have been. And they don't hold back in telling her either. Susan tells her she's lived a life of broken relationships all because of her theft of he one true love. Yet, Audrey still insists on finishing the meal before divulging the secret of her invitation. The story is reaching high boiling point at this stage. The preliminaries and background details have gradually leaked out. Now, it's time to find out. You must have some big moment planned for us all, Ulla. Nicely done again. Look forward to the climax.

Why can't you just tell us why you've asked us here...?

I'm surprised that they blame only the woman for
taking the boy friend away from her friend, but
what happened to the man? If he was faithful he
wouldn't have gone with the other one.
As always, excellent writing, it's a pleasure to
read your work my friend.

Un abrazo para ti.

    Hi Bryana, thanks a lot for this great review. Audrey stole Marjory's fiancee and then married him. Marjory has never forgiven that. His name was Brian and died recently in a car accident. Thanks so much for the lovely six. You've made my day. Un abrazo para ti, Ulla:)))

I think this is warming up to what could turn into a cat fight. You are describing these woman with accurate human nature and realistic feelings. Each post makes me more curious of the cause for the meeting.

Hello Ulla,
Lovely piece of General Fiction depicting its theme, the three friends' actions and reactions, in a beautiful and natural way!
Charming phraseology, and perfectly matching the theme.
Smooth, spontaneous, and captivating flow from the beginning to the end.
Interesting, and the coming part is certainly going to be more interesting.

Well, this story is getting to be very interesting. I am really curious as to what is the motive of Aubrey in meeting her two friends that she had offended. The author puts the readers on edge and make them wait for the next post, i believe.

A very good installment. The emotions are real and justified. The dialog, although unexpected, is perfectly natural.
Typo:. . . but that's (how) far as it goes . . . Replace 'how', with 'as.'
You might reconsider: 'Must have done.'
I look forward to the next chapter.

Hi, Ulla Fantastic writing from start to finish here. such a tricky plot to play with. I envy you, It can go so many ways...no matter how it proceeded....just let the characters write the book from here on: I love this:

"I ... I am so sorry, Audrey. No wonder you're a bit thin. I wish I'd never asked."

Audrey threw a tight smile. "That's okay. You were not to know, after all. How could you?"

And this: "Marjory almost felt sorry for Audrey, but only almost. "

Great writing, my friend.

I wonder how Brian died. If it was me, I wouldn't even be meeting up with the woman who stole my man. But it makes you wonder why she has called them all there to meet. Thank you for your writing. Very easy to read.

Hi Ulla,

I like how you're unraveling this mystery meeting slowly, keeping the reader wanting to know more. It's mean, but effective! LOL!

A few minor suggestions:

Well, I can't talk for Marjory, - suggest 'speak' rather than 'talk'.

"Audrey, do you know what we can agree on?" Marjory felt the pent up anger surge through her. - close space between here and the continuing dialogue.

Susan looked at Marjory() in amazement. "Whatever next?" (s)he exclaimed. - delete comma, and put the 's' in lower case.

Well done! I'm eager to know what this is all about. :)

Another chapter and another good read I am enjoying each chapter although the story does not seem to be moving on. I know it is, but the suspense is killing me.
