Perfect writing. It seems Katherine is not only raising a young jock, running and friends with a jock, she is now coaching, hmm, is female jock a thing?
Very good work. I still don't understand the point of the P.I. So what if Katherine is sleeping with or outright marries Gabe? They could announce to the world in the paper, so what?

Thank you for the kind review. You will discover the 'so what' all in good time.

It seems to me taking on a coaching job would be a bit much, especially since it's her first year of teaching. She seems to succumb to pressure very easily. Great addition with the announcements about forming the girls' track team and the math word of the day. Also, I think she should let Gabe get his own coffee. That's the extend of my interference. It's an interesting idea that there's someone else behind Frost's shenanigans. That would make good sense. judi

Okay, Barbara, why do I have the feeling that the harassment of Gabriel and Katherine is getting ready to heat up (I almost said, run its course, but that would have been an awful pun, right?) If Gabriel is going to give Katherine coaching tips, they will be together more than ever. Hmmmm....

Hi Barbara. Another great chapter that I thoroughly enjoyed to read. Katherine and Gabriel seem to be very comfortable with each other by now. I do like that. Now what? Ulla:)))

Hello Barb,
A nice chapter to read. But one thing what is going on
when Joshua brought down the magazine. Gabriel shoved it inside a sports-bag. "I'll destroy it at my place."

Mmm, bounding at an emotional and professional level. Now both are coaching teams and get an unique opportunity to share coaching techniques and models.

Lovely chapter and a really nice comfort level between Katherine and Gabriel now. Their banter during the run was entirely realistic and warm.
I'm going to guess she has more takers for the girl's team than she anticipates.

Very nice. It is reassuring to see thing progressing the way that they are. This story is very comforting to read. The main characters are the kinds of people I would like to know and even associate with. This person that is obviously a suspect in the case of spying on them is someone I am sure that I would not like.

I am sure you would not like Mr. Frost either. It does get a lot worse. Thank you for the kind review.
Comment from Sankey
Another good bit of the story. Had a nice flow and I like how Katherine and Gabriel are slowly progressing. Wondered about the question mark on the title?
and...
so we can prove[,] that's where I started.
back to Mr. Edward(s).

Comment from Suzanna Ray
Dear barbara, I have a question. Was our heroine bamboozled into reading that announcement, to ensure that she would be taking the job, as the cross country coach?

Not really, when she spoke with Mr. Edwards earlier she said she would. I just had her go into the office and then read the announcement. I didn't see any reason to go into the discussion in his office. I felt it was too much. This novel is over 105,000 words total. I need to leave a few things out. Thank you for asking.
