I think you have the classic happy ending to this one as Gabe carries his bride into the bedroom. As always the dialogue is crisp, there's plenty of emotion in it, it's realistic and the characters are well defined and mesh into the story perfectly. Plenty of polish on it. But it's been so long I'd forgotten where you were in the story. estory

    This story is complete. It's at an editor's and she suggested I add and epilogue.

Aw, thank you for writing this, it finished that story off perfectly. It took me a few seconds, but I was soon right back with them again. Well done, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

Good luck on the final edits.

As Gabriel carried her inside, Jeremey ran down the stairs. "Mom and Dad are back!"

- are you sure about the Dad part?

Jordan walked in the front door, with Gabriel's {parent}, Rebecca and Harold.

- parents

    I fixed the parent. I was concerned about the 'dad' part two. I've been playing with it. Jeremey is young. He might call Gabriel 'dad'. The older boys would still call him 'Coach'. I'll see what the others say.

    I just meant so soon. If I remember correctly, Jeremy and Gabe didn't have too many scenes together (Gabe interacted more with the eldest boy.), and the novel covered weeks.

    Jeremey called Gabe's parents grandma and grandpa. He also invited Gabe to the Dad's eat lunch at school with him. He always hugged and kissed his cheek goodnight. I think after 18 months he'd call him dad. Not 100% sure.

What a lovely ending to a new beginning!
I thoroughly enjoyed your story, and love that it ended after the honeymoon.
I look forward to reading more of your stories - they're so heartfelt.

I thought you had finished this book a year ago. I'm glad that you decide to write an Epilogue 2.
I found a typo: French Rivera -> French Riviera.

Among all the choices (Puerto Rico, Montana cabin and French Riviera,) I choose Nice, the French Riviera. I have been all these places but Nice has it all.

Well done.

    I'm glad to help. I'm thinking about reposting a novel that I have started more than a year ago.

Hi Barbara, this is a great revised epilogue to your story. I liked it a lot. Now I will be focusing on your other novel which is also coming to an end. All best, Ulla xx
