Hello Barbara
Good chapter and it shows how you can bring out emoticons from people.
It shows how much Anna care for Toy
from the way she reacted. I just hope somehow Troy will explain why he was talking to the blonde ga in the grocery store

Comment from Margaret Snowdon
Oh, perhaps in time, when things
are more settled with her ex, (hopefully,
with not too much fear and heartache)
she can then have a relationship with Troy....
So well-penned, my friend.

Comment from sweetwoodjax
this is very well written, barbara, a great job writing this chapter of your book, i think it's sweet that troy finished anna's shopping and delivered her groceries, even though she wouldn't open the door.

If you hurried to fast I sure couldn't tell it. Another one of your great chapters. I felt bad for both Tony and Anna. You wrote the jealousy emotion very well. Great job.

Comment from rama devi
HI B. By the way, i keep forgetting to mention I like your author's notes on this story--very informative. No worries, there are not a lot of mistakes, just a few tiny things-
*
"Troy, do you like red or green grapes?" ask(ed) a petite blonde in her late twenties.
*She won't answer, right now. --not sure the comma works well here.
*There's no need to repay me. 'Bye." switch first ' to "
* As she lifted a bunch of bananas,(this comma not needed--a bit cluttering) she said, "I wonder if
The chapter flows well and has good dialog. the narrative is okay--not riveting--I think it has a lot more mundane details but my attention did not wander, and that's a good thing. You do an excellent job on the pOV with italics for internal dialog.
Well paced and easy to read. As an FS chapter, it is a good length--but if meaning to publish in a book, I think the chapter is short and needs more substance.
No big nits.
Warmly, rd

Last weeks post is part of this chapter and the next post is the end fo the chapter. I am confused as to the sentence that begins with As, I thought after that clause a comma was always needed. I am confused which 'to' you are talking about in the sentence 'There's not need....
Thank you for the review and I am trying to make corrections, I am just a little confused on two of them.
-
I'll double check those, dear. I think the comma before AS is often optional--it depends on the sentence structure. That's one of the reasons I did not deduct a star. Some of my suggestions are just that--not 'corrections" :-)
the TO is about the quote mark. You have a single line quote instead of a double switch ' to "
Just a typo-- 'Bye." switch to "Bye."

How sad and unfortunate this is for Troy running into his secretary.
And Anna finds it hard of course to trust any man, after her bad experience.
Not that difficult to understand.
But assume they will sought it out sometime soon, I hope.

Comment from adewpearl
How horrible a way to live, in constant fear that the man she walked out on could be the next murderer in the news and she the next victim.
Poor Anna, thinking she caught him with another woman.
She is so emotionally vulnerable right now and he is SO damned nice.
Your author's notes are truly sobering. Brooke

Thank you for the kind review. RD told me to kick the comma out fo this sentence, " As she lifted a bunch of bananas,(this comma not needed--a bit cluttering) she said, "I wonder if " I thought it needed to be there because of the As.
-
I would use that comma after an introductory adverb clause. I respectfully disagree with her.
-
Thank you, I did too, but I am far from knowledgable with commas.
