This is a sweet chapter. Emma a Seth are acting like a couple and he's right, they better get married soon so they can forge ahead into their future.

The post I'm posting today will solidify Seth feeling for Emma. Thank you for the kind review.

I'm running so far behind on reviews that I doubt I'll get everything read before midnight tomorrow, but that doesn't mean that I appreciate your post any less. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Mustang Patty
Hi there,
The sixth star is for the GREAT job you did in setting the scene for getting ready to go to a funeral. And the portrayal of someone making themselves sick with grief had a ring of truth to it. Well done.
Looking forward to reading more,

Comment from Pam (respa)
Av very good chapter that covers a lot of different emotions. It had to be hard to get ready for the funeral service and all that goes with it before and after. A good example is Emma having trouble playing her guitar and singing so Seth helps her out by playing. I didn't recall him playing the guitar so that was a very nice scene.
Everyone is helpful to the family, especially after the service when it is family and close friends. It was nice of Abbey to be there, and share time with Emma. It was nice to see Emma responding to having something to eat and drink after her fainting spell. I like the ending scene with the tender moments you described and Seth's final thought.
One small thing:
Mother and Daughter hugged and cried.
[caps aren't needed on mother and daughter;
it follows a clause]

I didn't know that about mother and daughter, I thought as long as there isn't a my or something it was capitalized. Thank you for the education.

This is another excellent chapter. The longer post allows the reader, which is me, to get the complete story. When it is cut in two it the flow gets disturbed.I do not see any room for improvement. Have a blessed day.

Thank you for the kind review and the comment about the length. I have two like the length and two say it's way too long. LOL
Comment from jmdg1954
Hmmm... I'd better hurry and marry this girl.
With only a few chapters left we'll have to see what happens.
She still seems a bit immature to me based on how I'm reading the story. She has shown some growth, but it's only been 35 days.
Note: I prefer these longer chapters.
Looking to next weeks post,
John

Thank you for the kind review and weighing in on the length of the chapter. I did receive to reviews that said, this chapter was too long. The next is shorter. If I posted the entire chapter, it would be very long.
-
That?s because they don?t want to ?work? for there member dollars. I get reviews that truly feel the reviewer didn?t read or just perused the post. I find that pathetic. But that?s just my opinion.
-
I tend to agree. One actually said he/she wanted the money, and the post was too long.
Comment from Daylily
My sixes are gone but please accept a virtual one. I love all the Tennessee Ernie Ford songs and especially the spiritual ones. His Eye Is on the Sparrow fits in perfectly with this chapter. Happily, I still have a CD and I play it often.
Small item:
"I did not." Seth sat on the edge of the bed. "She did it on her own." He grinned. "She seems to have a sixth sense and knows what (is) going on with me. Did you enjoy her company?"

I added that crazy little word. I have a bad habit of leaving them out and reading them as if they're there. DARN!!! I appreciate the help.
Comment from Jim Wile
Yes, he'd better. What's holding him back from taking her in his arms and telling her he loves her? She gave him the perfect opportunity when she asked, "Why are you so nice to me?" Was he afraid she'd think he was moving too fast? I think glaciers move faster than this relationship is developing! The way these two tiptoe around each other is maddening (in a sweet sort of way :) )
Oh, well. It will be great when it finally comes, but the suspense is killing me. My problem, I know.

I think it's next Sunday that their relationship moves to the next leave. Thank you for the kind review.

Nice touch at the end of his inner thoughts. "I better hurry up and marry this girl." That alone leaves me wanting to know where it goes. What I really like is the teachable moment on dialogue. I only wish those who need the lesson pay attention on how to pick up pace and move a plot along, but also keeping the reader in the moment, since that's how it is supposed to work. But the gift shows with how you sprinkle just the right touch of description necessary so the minds eye is rewarded to see and hear. You had me like a fly on the wall. And that's not easy for me. My short attention span was held longer than usual. Love the characters. Once again, it is easy to write from a Christian world view and make it unrealistic and cheesy. You and I both know those kind are out there. But this has depth and believability. Blessed...
