She "acted like a wound up doll, dutiful and ceramic." With great descriptions you created a fantastic mood and absorb the reader. Empathy built. I recall this story. This by far is my favorite story you've written. You bring such historical depth to this too. I think this should be published, private message me back. I think I can ask someone and send them an excerpt. Stan

Wow. I've never read your stories I don't think before but this one has pulled me in. Some may be able to resist but not I. Great job with this one.

Comment from robina1978
I must have misses some chapters but it is easy to catch up again. How unfortunate Nathan is not better yet and has these problems with one nurse.

Comment from Antoine Charlemaine
Thank you for an interesting read. There are a couple of grammatical inconsistencies and at times I was struggling to know who was speaking due mainly to formatting. Your characters are quite believable, however, and I can certainly understand Nurse Grace's reticence! I have a feeling that they will end up together...

Comment from w.j.debi
This is the first chapter I have read. Looks like I need to go back and catch up on the story. This is heartfelt and shows so many facets of the same man. You bring the character to life with a lot of dimension. The narrative flows well. Your writing captures and hold attention.

Well, thank you my dear. Please try, if you can, to read a couple of early chapters. I think you'll understand what Nathan is going through.
Comment from Shirley E Kennedy
Very well written and continues on well from the last chapter.
You set the scene to perfection. An image of what it must have been like for Nathan and the medical staff, especially nurses emerges with clarity.
Lost loves, new loves and an unpredictable fate must have played havoc with the enlisted men. Dreams of home were maybe all they had to cling to.

Comment from Phyllis Stewart
Excellent. I'm glad Grace and he made peace with each other. And I hope the war really is winding down, tho I doubt if Nathan has seen the last of it. Well done!

Comment from barkingdog
I had to laugh when he wrote 'salivating hole in my face' I take it this is free verse. LOL
He is certainly trying.
The visit and story about Sweetheart was a fine change from Nathan's guilt over his behavior with Grace. I'm glad she finally forgave him, but she is still being cautious.
Good job. :) ellen

Comment from JM daSilva
I laughed at the sweetheart cat joke, so it worked. The nurse is not easy, but what he did wasn't good either. So let's see if he has a chance now.
