This post had a great ending, and I can't wait to read the next one. I read your author notes, and I completely understand about not being able to describe your characters in each post. You have to write it in the same way as any book which gets published. Sometimes I'll write she brushed her curls back - or - he ran his fingers through his dark hair, etc. But apart from that I don't waste too much time describing after the first couple of posts.

I took some hits on my last post because I didn't. Thank you for the kind review.

"I know Paula had cable, because we discussed it."
I do not believe a comma goes before "because". I enjoyed your story as usual. T2

Normally I would agree, but I is the subject of the first part and we is the subject of the second part. Thank you for the kind review.

I did not know of that rule. I will have to look it up. Thanks for the tip.

A very enjoyable chapter, Barbara. I love the easy way these friends relate and now a bit of suspense. I found no errors to correct.
It deserves a six for sure!

Another wonderful addition to the story. i hope this is the ghost making an appearance.
Within minutes(,) the flat screen TV
sat
"I wonder where the (that or her) TV's at?"(otherwise it's a bit confusion about why they are looking for a Tv when they already have a TV
on the table.

A fun chapter this, until the end when it got a bit spooky! I enjoyed the banter between the guys and the gals.
Now then. What the heck was that thump? Good hook to leave us on, Barbara.

I wonder if he'll take me out with my new look." - Not sure if this should have a question mark.

Comment from Dave M
Barbara,
So the possible spooks are disturbing what was planned to be a relaxing evening watching baseball. Actually, I hope it's a ghost and not that slimebucket at the end of the previous chapter.
I enjoyed this read and have one suggestion:
"I wasn't here, yet. So they made due [do]."
Here in Dalton, we have a few mansions built over a hundred years ago. The one across the street from where my wife grew up was built in the 1850's.

Has it been restored? I will fix that do. Thank you for the kind review.

Yes, Barbara. That antebellum house is now office space, and the restoration is beautiful. Unfortunately, another antebellum house down the street, made of bricks, essentially crumbled and had to be torn down.

What a shame for the other house.

I wondered about the do vs due. I wasn't sure. Thank you.
Comment from AprilShower
Now we're getting to the mystery within the story now. They hear a chuckle and a thump. I wonder who's there. Could there be tunnel under the house and someone knows about it?
Barbara, books often have a lot more than 20,000 words. Well done. :o)

I put that in my author's notes because I took some major hits on my last post because I didn't describe my characters enough. This novel will probably be around 60,000 words. Thank you for the kind review.

Turning into a good ghost story, the noises and such. Also the relationships with the characters are becoming more refined. I wish you were posting more often but it's worth the wait.
Just one run-on sentence in dialogue early on.

I have fixed that. Somebody already caught it, but thank you for the catch. I appreciate it. I only have time to post on the weekend. I barely have time for that. I am so missing your writing.

The thing I'm writing now is a backstory for the sci-fi fantasy thing I wrote about Wolfcats. There is a period that one of the characters in that story is away on Earth. So this story is what happens while she is here. I wrote it before the Wolfcat books were completed - I kind of had to if you think about it.

Love the image of the house as it adds greatly to my following of the story.
Nice dialogue and flow as always and just the right length to keep your reader in suspense for the next installment.
I sense some ghosts in the offing
