Gayle,

This is an excellent chapter. Just reading it makes my mouth water, and the food wasn't the most important thing. This bridge chapter keeps everyone on the same page, so it's needed. But one thing causes me to wonder - your title. It sounds like Norman is paying Ella's a visit, perhaps having tailed Cathy there. But he is only mentioned. Maybe he'll show up there in the next chapter. I also have to break chapters up so they fit into Fanstory's format.

I found one uncorrectable typo:

"The girls hugged again while making much of their long-lost pall [pal]."

    Crud, I finally got that guy outa there! Thanks for the good eye. Yes, I had to break this one. It's so agrivating to the reader, but how can you publish a 4500 word chapter? They'd be dropping like flies!

    Ah, good friend, thanks so much for the great read. I'll be up in your neck of the woods later this morning!

    Hugs,
    Gayle

Excellent narrative. You use all the necessary tools. I like the pace and dialog. I could use a bit more detail, but it is fine the way it is. Thanks for a fine write. Ray.

    Oh, Ziggy,

    I sure do. Once we get through the FS edit, then I reedit again and THEN I send it off to a pro editor. THEN I'll publish it! Takes forever, even when you do it yourself!

    Thanks for your help and input!

Another excellent chapter. I guess Norman shows up in the second half. It will be very interesting to see how Suzi reacts to Norman; that may tell us a lot. I wouldn't be surprised if the next half doesn't get several of the characters get involved in a little action. My guess is that Norman followed them to the restuarant. Very well done.
