What a tale of intrigue and unreturned love. Eva seems like a good girl, clever too, but Nathan will never get over Margaret. And if he does by some miracle marry Eva, it will only end in heartache as he and Margaret will rekindle the forbidden flames.

...with the whiteness of her teeth flashing as she laughed.

Oh, I enjoy a good Colgate smile.


He exhaled hard...then lit a cigarette.

Out with the good air. In with the bad.


"You looked at me as if you'd seen a ghost."

This ones quick. Nate you'd better dump her. She's going to know all your secrets soon.


"Will you stop!" he snapped. "I'm fine I told you!"

Not in the mood for 20 questions, Nate?


"Nathan...may I say one thing?"

"Of course."

Don't! For the love of God Nate don't let her!


"Eva, you sleep naked and never put a stitch on until after breakfast. And you don't think I'll know you're there?"

Finally, someone else willing to use a semi-nude character in their story.


**************

Nice use of a page break. You don't see that much anymore.


The old fart had no more juice left."

Moments like these make the story come alive.

Nathan's heart got broken by Margaret who just left. Then he dives into his work and is allowed to do more and more, improving so much and Koren getting worse with arthritis. He is now the most wanted bachelor. Even when he is with the woman that loves him, she is still on his mind.

That was quite long, I'm glad it's not a full chapter. I enjoyed what I read and I'm looking forward to reading more of this delightful story. No errors spotted. Very sad to mistake an early menopause for a pregancy - very disappointing.

He seems to be quite the catch! But then, he is a handsome doctor. Everyone in town seems to know the truth about his true feelings. You have created a good addition to an already fascinating story. Your characters continue to grow and introduce more of themselves as time goes by.

Oh I can see trouble on the horizon for both Nate and Margaret. Exa seems to have a few screws loose and will do anything to have nate in her life for ever. Good chapter that flowed nicely and the time jumps were appropriate for the interest of the story. Bravo!

Nathan is not a luck guy. He only meets manipulative women. This one loves him, but is beating a dead horse. Poor girl should look for someone else, but some people don't know when to stop. Great story. I had no trouble following it.

    Life is complex and so are people. I don't want my characters good or bad. Just good people sometimes making stupid decisions. Thank you for reading.

    Me too. My people are always faulty. Welcome.

Poor Nathan, he seems to be trying to make a career for himself without the love of his life.

I'm curious to see when SHE returns. :-)

A little upset with Eva and her not telling Nathan the truth. :-(

Very nicely written.

    Not really trying to make her bad. Just love can make you make bad decisions. Thank you for reading.
