Excellent chapter. Very descriptive and glad I am still with you. Keep it coming. Just sad I missed the big phoney money again. You must notify me I am still here on Monthly on and off for now. I cancelled the "Auto-renew" on Pay Pal.

Just so you know now I am on Monthly it seems sometimes the review option disappears. I have to ask Tom about it as reviewing disappeared on one of my other favourite writer's in the cross-over to Monthly Membership but I was paid up so I dunno what happened. Have to speak to Tom about it. Another reason I am eventually leaving this place.

A great chapter. "new Horizon" ? Since you are asking , if not football ,then something connected to that sport would be great. After all football will have a good part in this story...(what about the school's name ?)

I would like to use the school's name, but that's pretty clique. Thank you for the kind review.

Sports are very much in the picture when you have someone playing. I can relate to those days. Now with the pandemic, the grandchildren play with a mask on...so far so good!

So, the coach isn't hitting on her, but sort of he is. He is rather pushy in a charming sort of way such as 'you get me coffee and I'll get you lunch'. Your dialogue draws the reader in. The interaction between the characters reveals their personalities, including those of the boys.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
What a nice chapter. My mouth dropped at the time of her early morning run!! Goodness me! I liked that the coach was there, he sounds so nice, I'm sure this is going to develope into something romantic. Gabriel has my approval! LOL. What I like about this is that they are starting to get along, Katherine is mellowing towards him. Well done, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

It's nice when someone is so polite and considerate of their reader's time. I wish I could always remember to be the same way. I promise, I try. But more times than not they just grow out of proportion. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Nice image,Barbara.
-Your character of Mr. Frost;
is he Rodney or Robert? In the last
chapter, he was Rodney in the story
and Robert in your character list.
-This is a good follow up chapter
that allows Katherine to get to
know Gabriel a little better.
-Probably because she is a little
more acclimated to things, she
seems to find his company pleasant.
-The whole discussion about his
football playing days was very interesting.

Comment from AJ McCall
Haha! Gabriel does have a way of pushing his way into everything, lol. I love his character and that he's so helpful. They're a perfect match, Katherine just has to realize that. I have a feeling that Mr. Frost has beef with Gabriel... and that's so cool that everyone almost knows everyone. I do think A New Horizon is a bit cliche. Maybe, 'Love, Texas Style' or 'Under Texas Sun'. I don't know... they're just suggestions!
I did notice a couple of errors:
Gabriel walked(up) behind her and held her hand. "Don't do it. He deserves it, but he'll bring charges. As a new teacher, you don't need that. I promise it'll be handled."
He slightly raised his below-knee-length shorts, revealing two large surgery (scars.)
"Not as busy as my mom. She'll bring them back this afternoon in time to get Joshua to practice at the middle school. Jordan can work in my room, until( it's)time for his second practice. I just have to remember to get him lunch. I almost forgot yesterday. He should be packing his breakfast now and then eat in my room."
"Two sandwiches, a banana, and an apple. Oh(,) yea, (a) couple pieces of cheese, two bottles of Gator Ade, and two blueberry muffins. Think that'll hold me over until lunch? What's lunch anyway?"
("MOM!")

For the answer to your question, yes New Horizons is over used. I suggest something that has to do with football. You moved the story along nicely. I want to keep reading especially to see what happens with Mr. Frost.

"A true jock. I'm glad you didn't tax your brain," she teased. She stood on the sidewalk in front of her house. "This is it. Thank you for the escort." (Nice joking conversation.)
Katherine watched him jog. He's an interesting man. Most jocks aren't caring. (So, maybe the conversation had more truth than teasing?)
"Two sandwiches, a banana, and an apple. Oh yea, couple pieces of cheese, two bottles of Gator Ade, and two blueberry muffins. Think that'll hold me over until lunch? What's lunch anyway?" (This kid is an eater!)
That could be a good title...
Enjoyed.
