So Seth has something serious to attend to Hope this would solve the questions regarding Emma's car and other incidents.
I can find romance here because I enjoy reading slowly developing relationships rather "jump into the bed at the first opportunity" type.

Comment from lyenochka
Great job with this. There was a lot of scene changing with different characters but you made it all very clear. It may be this short separation that would clarify to Emma what her real feelings are for Seth.
If you haven't changed it yet:
When they'd finished eating Emma (comma after 'eating')

Not sure how I missed that little comma, but you're 100% correct, it needs to be there. I've added it. I appreciate the help. Thank you.
-
I generally don't like comma rules but that one is important. Lol.
I had to unlearn using commas for creating a "pause." I'm sure in grade school I was taught that and now it's a no-no. Sigh.
-
I normally use the rule, when in doubt leave it out when it comes to commas, but in some places they're necessary.

Agreed! We don't want any eaten! 😊

To answer your question, I see this as a budding romance. At the beginning of each chapter you remind the reader it's only been 23 days since they met. Of course they are moving slow, but 23 days isn't a lot of time. I am enjoying this. Another good chapter. Gretchen

As always, I continue to say, it is your choice. You are the author, and it's your tale. I stand by my reviews, as I tell it as I see it honestly. To do less is disrespectful to you as an author.
At this point, you two MCs could decide to just be friends, and there would be no fuss, to loss, no change in their relationship is any way. So, realistically what is the difference between the two in terms of a romance or friendship, given all we've been shown and told? I'm not talking about what some reader may or may not want. I mean in terms of what was written.
I also see many people like what they describe as: slow pace, old fashioned, traditional, and such. That's fine. But consider: The reviewers saying that are seniors, the way your MCs behave resembles more like who: young people in their 20s, or seniors?
That is what I'm saying. The people you've written behave perfectly, with patience, wisdom, kindness, virtuous, helpful (to the max), and without any visible sexual urges (not having sex. For god's sake, there is a river between having sex, and having a sex drive, dreams, feelings, sweaty palms anything). Is that how a person in their 20s in 2023 behaves? Small town or not. Even if they are religious or saintly. Their bodies are that of a young person in their prime, right? But these two have the bodies and mentality of senior citizens, so why not just make them seniors.
PS: even the dogs are perfect

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Another excellent chapter. Emma has a big support system with Seth, her parents, and her church. I get why she cried. Seth is so sweet to her. He is a keeper. I love this chapter. Well done.

This is another excellent chapter. I like the longer format. You moved the story along nicely, and the hook at the end wants me to keep reading. I do not see any room for improvement. Have a blessed day.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Another great chapter expressed faultlessly throughout in dialogue form which skilfully brings the characters and their acivities to life. We're focused on the romance between Seth and Emma with the former not being able to do enough to help her and Molly recover from their respective injuries. There's a real feel-good factor going on here in the community and I'm wondering if it might be the lull before the storm, ahead of the mission tomorrow. Thanks for sharing, Barbara. Debbie

Comment from Alexandra Trovato
I see romance in the novel because Seth always cares about Emma and doesn't push anything. I think anyone who knows what romance is, will see romance in this movel. Exceptional writing again! I enjoyed reading this.
Best wishes, and have a good week,
Alexandra

Comment from Teri7
Barbara, This is a very well written chapter! Thank you for posting it all. It seems that Seth and Emma are getting closer and closer. There has to be some romance in it. Seth is so good to Emma and Mollie. Ace is too. I love this song - "Shine Jesus, Shine!" Beautiful voices. Thank you for all your hard work my friend! love and blessings, Teri

Most all of us have so much to be thankful for, and it's always nice to see a story end with someone who recognizes their blessings. Thanks for sharing another fine chapter.
