This was a sad but great read, friend. No Spags either. Very exciting and wondering where this is all going. Just sorry I did not know about Cody's return before this. Keep it up.

I thank you once again for a very interesting chapter
I'm not much on reading stories due to my short term memory after my stroke.
Yours and one more I make sure to keep up with.
Thank you for sharing.

Both Beth and Cody are characters that are easy to relate to. She feels she must move on, and Cody feels deserted one more time because she is not there as she promised to be.

Excellent character development.

Beth wasn't willing to continue her relationship with Daniels with no marriage proposal in sight. Can't say that I blame her. She's had a lot of time invested. However, when the Sheriff is engaged in catching bad guys and rescuing Cody, he doesn't have all that much time to indulge in romance. Maybe her absence will make the Sheriff see what he's lost. She's so devoted to Cody, too. It's very touching that he thinks about her during the baseball game. Great chapter, and excellent characterization of Cody, especially as he wishes for Beth to show up for the game. judi

This filled in some questions I had about Beth and what happened. The last thing I thought was they were going to get married. Nice recapture of the past

Beth Sorenson cares to reminisce about their forever home Astatula, Texas; she thinks of the plight, screaming news headline, adoption of an abused orphaned boy, moving to Oklahoma City, again back to Astatula, again moves, to forgive her; I enjoyed the theme and plot progression with a curious ending.

I'm truly enjoying reading your story of Cody.
This is a great chapter that keeps us interesting in Beth and how she is fairing in Oklahoma City.
I do feel bad for Cody as I'm sure he is confused by her not being there.
I like the comparison of being no closer to here than Santa's reindeers. Isn't that the truth. If something is unreachable it might as well be in the North Pole.
Great writing!
Michael

    Doesn't it always seem when parents separate it is the kid who suffers the most?

Just reading this extract I already feel empathy with the characters for both Beth and Cody with the inclusion of Brock. I am keen to find out how her life was turned around and where her choices will lead her to next. It took two reads to realise you had jumped from telling the story from Beth's point of view to Cody's. I was told once by an editor to only handle these changes with a new chapter or larger space break. Perhaps it's just the way it's printed here. Still I am intrigued to read more
