I'm glad Molly is going to pull through. It's nice she has Ace to watch over her. It's nice that Emma has such a good friend in Seth. They've become almost inseparable in such a short time. Seth has made the house feel secure again and his presence doesn't hurt at all to add to the feeling of security.

    Thank you for the kind review. I'm sorry you had to read it when there was no money attached. I'll be posting the next chapter next.

"poka dots" should be polka (like in the music and dance) dots. Or is this and "poke-a-dots" meant to be plays on the word?

Seems Emma would be lost without Seth. Ungrasping his hand while in bed indicated how much she now is in need of him.

    Surprisingly those little dots have caused me all sorts of problems. They may be changed to stripes before I'm done. I think you're right, polka dots. Thats the way they're staying for now. Everybody has had an opinion. Thank you for the kind review.

I guess it could be hard to stay and look after someone who is being stalked when they are so worried about what everyone is thinking about you being there. Thanks for sharing.

This is the first chapter of your book that I have read so I will have to read the other chapters to fully understand the story but I have enjoyed what I've read today. Well done.

    I am truly shocked at the one star. You gave me a five star review, but one star. Please tell me what I can fix so I don't make the same mistakes again.
reply by Wendyanne on 25-Oct-2023
    Sorry it was a mistake!! I have updated the star rating.

    Thank you. Things like that happen to me often. I am happy when people point it out. I hope you didn't take offense.
reply by Wendyanne on 25-Oct-2023
    No I just felt silly for making the mistake and I know how it feels when someone mistakenly downgrades you. Sorry once again!

This is another excellent chapter. You are developing Seth and Emma's relationship very nicely, and I do not see any room for improvement. I am looking forward to the next chapter have a blessed day.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Thanks for sharing the image, notes, and story. I didn't see any problems with this chapter. It flowed well and captured the feelings of Seth and Emma very well. It sounds like good news from Dr. Mason. It is always very sad if you have to lose a pet. Emma will be very glad when Molly can come home. I think Ace will be happy, too.

It sounds like the same person is causing all of the trouble for Emma, and it has to be disconcerting, but she is very lucky to have people who care about her around her. It gives her confidence and a sense of security.

You did a good job with the camping scene, even including dessert. There were some tender moments that made for a good ending. Well done.

    You are very welcome. I saw the end of my review and it didn't make sense so I looked at it. I was going to put in s mores, but I knew if I put the apostrophe, it would put in all of those marks. I took that unfinished line out so now everything makes sense😊😊

Seth is doing everything a hero should do to win Emma's heart. If he isn't winning it by now, she is being entirely too tough. I need to go back and find 20A as for some reason, although I am your fan, I never receive info on your new posts.

Aww! They had a sleepover! How sweet is that? And she found out that Seth was watching over her even before. I think their love is finally being expressed more overtly.
Suggestions:
"Even poke-a-dots?" (polka dots)
"I can hear." Chuckled Dr. Mason. ("I can hear," chuckled Dr. Mason.)

    I corrected the spelling, but didn't chuckled. I just checked 'chuckled' isn't a speech tag, so it written properly. Once cannot chuckle at the same time words come out of their mouth. One happens first and then the other. Thank you for the kind review. I appreciate the help.
reply by lyenochka on 24-Oct-2023
    Oh, thanks for explaining that. It was unusual in prose to have the verb first so wouldn't one say, "Dr. Mason chuckled." ?
reply by the author on 25-Oct-2023
    Yes, and no, because we often switch up sentences, so they don't become redundant.
reply by lyenochka on 25-Oct-2023
    I know. I read for a while that some say use all kinds of verbs to not keep saying "said." The backlash to that was the don't use verbs that are not equivalent to 'said.' The writing world is full of opinions that go back and forth!
reply by the author on 25-Oct-2023
    That is very true. I try to stay as close to the editors and publishers I've used. I get tired of rewriting when I don't.

I liked the friendliness of them. The camping was cute and different. Holding hands in the dark was a romantic and intimate gesture. Couple of edits.
It's been almost a week ... missing beginning quotation marks.
She glanced towards the living room. I guess we're ready." Missing beginning quotation marks.
I really enjoyed this chapter, Barbara. Great job. Gretchen
