Emma does seem to attract trouble, this time the drunk who's making advances. Seth, of course, is there to protect her. It's too bad he can't catch the person in the Crown Vic who's been following her. The dogs are so cute! I enjoy them both. I'm not sure about that sandwich. Maybe it tastes better than it sounds. I'd like to see Emma being a little less dependent. She has a lot going for her, and I think hers and Seth's relationship could move along without her constantly being in some kind of trouble. If someone is stalking her and perhaps makes some real threats against her, that might work better. This is still excellent writing. Just my thoughts. judi

    Emma, later, will show how strong she can really be. Thank you for the kind review.

Uh oh, creepy ending!! just as we thought Emma was safe.

I love the interaction between Seth and Emma. You can tell they are developing a relationship they both enjoy, well they and their dogs.

The drunken language sounds authentic to me, so good job there.

As a former waitress, I can relate to Emma, though the worst sexual harassment I ever had came from a woman. Go figure!!

Hugs,
Rhonda

Hope you had a Happy Fourth too, barbara. Great choice of artwork and the chapter was good.
I wouldn't know how to write dialogue for drunk, but I think you did it well. Just enough to get the idea across.

It's too bad there has to be people like the guy in your story, and in real life, too. I think Emma made the right decision about him, and hopefully, he won't come back.

You did a good job with the discussion about the sandwich, and Seth and Ray volunteering to test the new sandwich. It seems like it was a success. Emma's answer to Ray about Seth being a good guy was interesting. They all enjoyed the new creation.

I like how Seth goes over to Emma's when she's practicing her guitar and doesn't mind that Seth is there. It's a shame the guy in the Crown Vic keeps showing up. He keeps being very mysterious.

One little thing about the door being locked. Was it just on the outside? A couple was still eating, and Emma said she had locked the door.

That is a whopping number of of sexual harassment ! Thanks for the video...You have handled the inebriated fellow's dialogue very well.
Emma and Seth are slowly inching towards each other ...

Of course charges should have been pressed by Emma. All failing to do so will achieve is more undesired advances. Or perhaps that is what Emma wants?

If "fur ball" is used to mean a pet believe it should be furball.

This is another excellent chapter. Emma and Seth keep inching forward. The good thing for me is that it keeps me reading to see the next step in that relationship. I do not see any room for improvement. Have a blessed day.

I enjoyed this chapter. They say a good romantic relationship starts with being good friends, and it looks like these two are taking it slow and easy, getting to know each other well before they make a committment.

I know it feels like we are 'tit for tatting' sixes but I really like the character development in your story.

It is a great tale with some suspense building and has very interesting secondary characters as well.

Great job.

I like your romance novel. It's interesting. My only suggestion is to have more action intertwined with your dialogue. It's hard to picture the characters when I can't see them doing anything. PS That sandwich sounds delicious.

This is another engaging chapter and I think the drunken incident is well handled (dialogue a little forced but credible). Seth's constant concern for Emma is well conveyed and, for me, it creates tension in the story because she seems so vulnerable and perhaps a little too forgiving. But your characterization, Barbara, is always skilfully done and enjoyable. Thanks for sharing Debbie
