Barbara, thank you for posting this great chapter. I get so into the chapters. You always use great descriptive words and great dialogue. I was so happy little Molly got to go home. I look forward to your next chapter. love and blessings, Teri

I did like reading this longer chapter.

It's now 5 to 1 in favor of the longer chapter. The one opposed said it was too long and she needed to collect the money.

I'm glad that Seth and Emma are becoming more trusting and accepting of each other, and I enjoyed the back story that Seth offered. Holding hands as they drift off to sleep was a nice ending and promises more.

Hi Barbara,
First, I'm glad Molly is on the mend, even if things are a bit touch and go. Her care has given the ever understanding, Seth and Emma a chance to learn more about each other, and draw closer as a result.
I liked the ending gesture with Seth adding the stroke with his thumb.
I also liked the way Emma plans to take Molly everywhere with her. So personable.

Take care,
Rhonda

This is another engaging chapter with some brilliant dialogue between Emma and Seth which brings their characters to life even more. I could feel how anxious Emma was over Molly and I could see her emotions coming through when Dr Mason told her the bill had already been settled. I'm looking forward to reading the next chapter.

I enjoyed this chapter, Barbara, and appreciate the extra length.

It was nice to hear some of Seth's backstory. I can see why he's not eager to talk about it, but he feels comfortable enough with Emma to share it with her, and she seemed to gain some further understanding of what makes Seth tick.

Still waiting for the kissing to start (besides pecks on the cheek.) I don't think it will be long now!

Thank you for the kind review. That first kiss is coming. I promise. I have three who've mentioned they like the longer length and one who said it was too long because it took too long to read, and she wanted the money faster. I am guessing that's the way many people are.

I've lost track of this as a novel through being in hospital, but certainly as a story it reads well and is rich in plot. kay

I have added the little word. I tend to leave them out and when I edit, I read as if the words there. Thank you for the catch. I appreciate the help.

I really enjoyed this. I usually don't like long posts but I think it worked better in this one. I like that this chapter was a more revealing look at Seth. We have the background of Seth. He is very closed off (except for when he's with Emma) and now we understand why. Great continuation. Gretchen

Good to know someone else watches the clouds. I really like the way Seth and Emma are growing closer. I'm sure Molly will be okay with time. Staying home with her would be better than taking her to church. Poor Seth. What that hussy in Boston did to him, it's no wonder he's unsure of women, but he knows Emma's different.

It was a long chapter, Barbara, but it was worth reading. The only thing is that it takes up time and prevent me from reading other posts I so need to do, enabling me to posty.own work. Molly seems to be doing good albeit frail, and Seth is there for Emma. Ulla xxx

Thank you for the kind review. So far, two people have stated they like the longer post. I do understand what you're saying.

reply by Ulla on 29-Oct-2023

I'm not complaining, but it's a fact. I have decided to have an active life outside FS as well, lol. And I am busy of late, hence I only post every other week. My new chapter will be out shortly.

This is an excellent chapter. I like the longer post. The shorter posts left me wanting more. You moved the story along nicely. I do not see any room for improvement. Have a blessed day.
