Seth handled the situation very well. He doesn't act tough or make her feel uncomfortable that she was so upset. Most guys aren't that considerate as they want their women to be tougher. But then they aren't falling in love with a sweet girl.

Another romantic chapter. I don't quite understand why Emma was avoiding Seth, she didn't do anything wrong. I remember falling asleep not hanging the phone, my boyfriend lived in Ohio at the time, and I lived in California, the phone made us feel closer. Also, it's understandable after what happened she was scared and too shy to ask to sleep over on the sofa. Anyway, I wished he would have slept over LoL

Well done, can't wait for the next one. I usually don't read stories, just poems but I really enjoy yours. I only read the chapters of Tony, Helen, and you.

This is another excellent chapter. Emmma's embarrassment makes sense considering her upbringing.I do not see any room for improvement. Have a blessed day.

This is a good chapter, barbara. It flows well with the various things that need to be done. It was a horrible thing that Emma had to go through, but she seems to be holding up pretty well. She went into work even thought it was hard, and she didn't want to go in the bakery door when she got there, but she did. I think she is gradually gaining more confidence. She even offered to use the aloe cream on Seth's back in the bakery office, and is still calling him by his first name. She is making a lot of progress.

Evidence of that is when she went to make her statement and offered to finish the typing for Seth. She even told him that she was glad he had been there because it was difficult. She did a good job with her statement, and I like the ending section when Ace made his appearance, looking proud of himself. The atmosphere was lighter, and Emma made a comment about possibly training Molly, and concluded by saying she needed to get doggie treats.

Well done.

A good chapter, Barbara. Your story is moving along nicely.
When does Emma start showing signs of maturity and strength? Aside from this last traumatic ordeal being help up at knife point, she is coddled way to much for someone her age.
Just my opinion and no negative sign towards your writing or story in any way.

Looking forward to the next chapters...
John

    I do understand. Emma is totally innocent, and the reasons will come out much later. She attempts at times to be an adult. I promise she will make it, eventually.

Very good summation of the paperwork that had to be done. Seth was gentle and sensitive enough to know Emma needed some time. However, being an officer of the law, he knew he had to proceed. This was good about her reaction after falling apart or close to it the night prior. Great chapter, Barbara. Gretchen

This was a very good story segment. I enjoyed the story line, and the story flowed well and held my interest. I appreciated the recap, as I haven't read any of the other parts, although I think I will go back and read them all.

I was surprised at her reluctance to face Seth in the morning. May be she is too independent and feels a bit ashamed that she might appear vulnerable. It was a smoothly progressing chapter...

Another good chapter, Barbara. I'd never heard of bandaging a sunburn. I always thought they needed air to heal. Aloe, yes, bandaging, no. But I'm no doctor.

Chuckling Seth said, [You need a comma after "Chuckling". Otherwise, it sounds like a comic-title "Chuckling Seth".]

Grinning he accepted it. [Comma after "Grinning"]

Introductory phrases, even of one word, need a comma following them in order to avoid confusion.

    I had the commas there and then my computer said no, so I took them out. I'm going to add them. Thank you for the help. I appreciate it.
