I can imagine exactly how she feels. I've had a couple of scares like that and afterward even when you know you're safe you still feel violated that some would dare try to steal from you. I've never been at knife point though. That would be worse.

Thank you for the kind review.
Comment from Sankey
Wow! What a chapter this is. Full of drama and seeing another side to Seth and Emma. I guess this has nothing to do with the Crown driver, either? Now a couple of possible spags. There's no way to be discre(e)t[e].
Not sure on this one... "Sweetheart, are you [all right] (alright)?"

Is there a difference between "all right" and "alright"?
There?s no significant difference between the meaning of "all right" and "alright." However, since "alright" is still a relatively new form?albeit one gaining in popularity?it?s not always accepted in formal writing. For example, in academic-university research papers, the traditional two-word ver? Thank you for the help. I know alright is gaining in popularity, but I still prefer the official form.

No worries that was why I put question marks on my suggested change. Whatever you prefer.

I didn't want you to think I was ignoring your suggestion. I appreciate your help.

No worries. Sally Law has put up another chapter!

Barbara, the men characters in your stories are so kind! I love that they're strong, and yet kind.
It would be nice to have a phone pal watching me at night, like Seth.
This is a great story. The way you weave plot into your prose is very effective.
Good luck with all your work, Barbara.
Blessings,
Cindy

When one has either an encounter like Emma had, or even a car accident, it shakes one's confidence somewhat, but being a dad of a lovely wife, two daughters and grands, I know what dad's or hubby's feel like, beautifully written Barbara, blessings Roy

Welcome
Comment from judiverse
This is exciting. I like the way Ace was brought in to attack the would-be robber. It was well orchestrated. You might have given a bit of build-up to the robbery attempt. Maybe an earlier mention of other stores being robbed would do it. Also, a bit more about the robbers. Maybe they're known to Seth. I can imagine Emma being frightened after being held with a knife on her. It's reasonable that she'd call Seth. (She could have stayed at her father's, but she's probably wanting to show she can manage on her own.)

I will consider more about the robbers, they are mentioned in the next post about having robbed in Cedarville, but other than that, they really don't move the story along. Thank you for the kind review.
Comment from Yardier
Clean, very clean. As usual, dialogue is your forte and stands as a primmer for me and any one else wanting to up their game.
Your knowledge of law enforcement is surprisingly accurate. You ever wear a badge?
I enjoyed the take down of the bad guys (amateurs'). They got off easy.
I look forward to the wedding or arraignment, which ever comes first.
All the best, Yard.

Thank you for reading and the encouragement. I was only a first-grade teacher. My husband was CID while in the Army. He was a forensic science expert. Not sure it that helps.

That was a traumatic experience for Emma, but I see it bringing she and Seth closer. You did a great job, as you always do. Have a wonderful Sunday afternoon. Shirley

Comment from damommy
I would have had Seth sleeping on the couch! I think this will bring them closer. After all, she used his first name. That's a step closer. Still wondering about the car that shows up periodically.

Emma is worried about small town gossip. Thank you for the kind review.
Comment from lancellot
Hmm, well, I suppose we needed Seth to make a heroic scene and save a vulnerable damsel in distress. I'm sure it will further the romance and the FanStory fans will love it. But... Never mind.
notes:
Bart's knife pricked Emma's neck. "Where's the safe?"
- Yes, it's 3rd person POV, but should we know the Robber's name now?

Good question about the name. I will fix that. As I wrote this, I knew you're have issues with it. Thank you for the kind review.

What a guy. Every woman needs a hero like Seth. There are few men who would do for a woman he is fond of, the things Seth has shown a willingness to do for Emma. As I said, "What a guy."

Thank you for the kind review. Yes, a hero needs to be someone women can dream of. At least in a romance novel.
