Sometimes, you just have to step up and open a can of whoopbutt on those who don't get the message otherwise. And I'm betting that Miranda isn't going to keep being nice while Missy plays her games. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

No. Miranda will definitely throw down but Missy is sneaky. She just might not see it coming. Thank you for this nice review. Gretchen
Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
This was a great addition to your novel, Gretchen. I enjoyed
reading it. You gave readers some great info throughout the
chapter. Yes, Miranda had stirred up a lot of 'things.' I'm still
wondering if Dougie and Missy are working this together or
if Missy has done away with Dougie or some kind of blackmail.
though Miranda is a strong woman, you show her at times as
struggling a bit which is reasonable. She tries to put on a great
show about how she doesn't need anyone, but in reality, she does,
and she knows it. Hopefully, Waylon won't be Missy's next target.
I liked the inclusion of Miranda's reflection that spoke to her and
the times before you included it.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

Thank you. Sometimes her reflection makes her face thinks she otherwise wouldn't. Thank you for this nice review. Gretchen

I suppose when we think of nasty people, it could be Missy, but there's no proof absolute about that one, and one can't be arrested on mere suspicion, but then Missy would know, but our caller said she killed her husband, but where is Dougie? Well done Gretchen. Blessings Roy

To Miranda she has finally realized Missy is playing a game. She just doesn't know the rules. You never know what is going to happen with her. Thanks for this nice review. Gretchen

That?s true
Comment from barbara.wilkey
Missy just might go after Waylon. That would not be good. I sure hope one of those bodies is her husband.
I fight the urge to smack him and say "Thank you, Captain Obvious." (comma needed after 'say')

Thanks for helping with that spag. I always appreciate your help. Thank you for this nice review. Gretchen
Comment from John Ciarmello
I love the way you ended this one, Gretchen. I want to see Missy fall now more than ever. The fact that she may harm others in Miranda's family puts us all on edge with the characters we've grown to love. Great chapter! Best, JohnC

Comment from Wendy G
I am still really enjoying your story, with realistic characters and excellent development of them, as well as the gradually deepening plot. Miranda will need to be extremely careful. Missy is really deranged, loopy and very cunning. Can't wait for the next chapter.

Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
I enjoy the way this story remains firmly focused on Miranda, and the other characters just orbit around her, it gives something of a surreal feeling to things as real life isn't like that for most of us, but I like that slightly distorted impression that ensues. kay

Comment from Douglas Goff
This story is great. That Missy is a bad egg,
One fine tune:
I step closer to Deputy Tyler. "I remember smacking your brothers tail because he wouldn't stop yelling "Hey, Poo poo face" at your neighbors, the Willoughbys. Asking me if I'm whacked out on medications might warrant the same punishment."
(Should be:
I step closer to Deputy Tyler. "I remember smacking your brothers tail because he wouldn't stop yelling 'Hey, Poo poo face' at your neighbors, the Willoughbys. Asking me if I'm whacked out on medications might warrant the same punishment."
(dialogue inside of dialogue)
I'm enjoying the tale that you are weaving!

Comment from nancy_e_davis
You need to make your chapters longer, Gretchen. I guess I am really hooked on your story. I think Aaron is wonderful telling Miranda he will take care of the problem. What a great friend he is. Of course she has been a great friend too going to Haynes Pond twice and handling the removal of the two cars and bodies. That was really cool. Those boys couldn't have done that by themselves. On the up side, she gets a new paint job on her trailer. Hope he picks a nice color. LOL Good work.

I'm sure Aaron will use builder grade white. I'm pretty sure Miranda won't really care about the color so long as that nasty word is gone. Thanks as always for this stellar rating. Gretchen
Comment from Sankey
Another good read. Sorry, I am all out of SIXES now. I can't remember if your other story about the 11-year-old pervert (hehe) got the last one I had. Still top storytelling. No spags.
