Oh, I liked this, Barbara. You can certainly feel the strong attraction building between these two. Hopefully Seth will soon realize that eight years is not that big of an age gap between them. They are still in the same generation.

My daughter married a man that was 16 years older when she was just 22, and we thought that was a bit too much. It didn't work out, but it took 12 years for them to decide that. Jim

Thank you for the kind review. Seth will come to his senses. LOL

This is a perfect example of how innocent events can cause embarrassment when there are feelings that simmer beneath the surface and are not addressed openly and frankly. In this case, it is not really time for that, the time is sure to come and cannot be denied.

I put this write on reader and it sounded good to me. No doubt there is a hidden romance starting to bloom. Sounds like work to me. Been there done that with the concrete bit. Good one, Barb.

If Emma stop's getting embarrassed, and Seth stops being stupid calling Emma a child. She's only 7 years younger! My hubby is 7 years older than me! I'd like to hear him call me a child, I'll clock him one! LOL! Men can be so funny. I thought the hosepipe fight was fun, I've had many a one of those, but never had a see through top on at the time! Lol. Well done! :)) Sandra xx

Thank you for the kind review. Seth will eventually understand that Emma is not a child, and it will shock him. Emma's dad is 12 years older than her mom. It will come out later, too. LOL

I always think a woman needs an older man, because women are intellectually more advanced than men! xx

Hi Barbara, this was another good writing. I really do like this story. But Seth is a bit abrupt, to say the least. I don't know why that is. Emma must feel hurt. Now I'm looking forward to what's next. Ulla:)))

That's an issue Seth will overcome. He needs some growing too. Thank you for the kind review.

I loved this chapter. I wanted to shake Seth, though. His abruptness with Emma, I'm sure hurt her feelings. Then the dismissal of the pastries she makes. That's her love language and he just shut the door in her face. Can't wait for the next chapter. Good luck to your husband on his recovery. And good luck to you as your career as his nurse. Gretchen

Thank you for the kind review.

Seth is stingy with his words, part of his problem. Maybe Emma will see through it.

If I looked better in orange, he may not survive. LOL
