Hubba hubba on the picture of Seth. Goodline dance on the last one. It was nice the see the dancing and not body parts jiggling. This story is a slow build and I like that. I wonder who came for dessert?

"We've watched Emma grow up as a church family." -- Perhaps: We've watched Emma grow up (in this) church family.

Suggest: short-stubbled

Suggest moving the phrase "Ace by his side" to the end of the sentence. . . . handsome Seth working on the door opener, Ace by his side.

Excellent dialogue between Seth and Emma.

It's so funny how he wonders if Molly is an actual dog. He's obviously smitten with Emma and feeling protective.

I have no idea how I missed this, Barbara! I started to read chap 3 and wondered what was going on. Now I know. This was a great chapter, but I'm worried about those headlights, it sounds like someone is spying on Emma. I'm off to the next chapter! :)) Sandra xx

So there is an explanation for Seth shaking his head. I thought it was just a mannerism.
Emma singing in the church gave a very heartwarming and close knit community feeling.
Seth and Emma
is slowly getting to know one another... waiting for more..

A lovely introduction to the chapter with Emma singing to the congregation. I want to know more about Seth's head shaking, was it in a discerning manner, a sign of neurodegenerative disease? I am intrigued. I am glad you use the term "fixin' " it is becoming commonly adopted in Australia in a humorous way.

Great writing. Jacqueline

I hope Seth doesn't have Parkinson's and that's why he's shaking his head so much. It sounds like Seth and Emma are becoming good friends already. That's a nice thing that they could share a meal together especially after Seth's kindness to her as a neighbor and landlord.

    No with Seth, the shaking of the head is not medical. Thank you for this kind review.

This was a smooth read as your writing always seems to offer. I must get more engaged with the story so maybe I can figure out the head shaking before you spill the beans. I need to fan you so I can keep up as well as learn from your writing skills.

    There's a reason Seth shakes his head. I'll give more information in next Sunday's post. Thank you for this kind review.

    I`m thinking it`s medical or a spiritual/emotional loss/vacancy that he can`t seem to shake.

-A good chapter, barbara.
-You continue to develop the characters well.
-I get the feeling some of the good intending
relatives like to put Emma on the spot, and
she isn't always comfortable with it.
-I see what you mean about Seth shaking his head,
so it will be interesting to see what that means.
-He seems very helpful but distant when speaking to Emma.
-I like the part where Seth's dog gets Molly back in the house.
-It seems there could be trouble brewing, as well.

This is a great chapter, Barbara. Seth seems to be edging his way in quite neatly with Emma by mentioning the doggy door. The more work that needs to be done around Emma's, the more he gets to hang around. Nice work! Congrats on the ATB! Best, JohnC

Another romantic chapter. I think most women, at least from my generation, like to be taken care of. Emma sounds like a very talented and caring girl. I think teaching is the best job, at least it is for me.

Ace and Molly sound like cute dogs.

I hope Emma and Seth hook up. LoL

I enjoyed reading the story. It's very engaging. Good character development.

Well done!
