Well, you got me, Barb.

I figured it was Cash who came back and took care of her. So, since she called him, the household ghost must have taken care of her. But, no never mind, Cash will carry on. I have faith!

Cheers & Blessings

Good chapter, Barbara. I'm sorry I got so far behind in reviewing them. I've been reviewing whatever pops up in front of me instead of what's on the first page.

The following is missing a period.
"Yourself will be enough." He grinned


I believe the following is missing a word
After removing the wet outer clothes, blankets (were) tucked in around her.

The chapter itself was interesting and Paige's reaction to the pup very believable.

Pretty exciting stuff. Nice dialogue and narrative. I like the way you describe the interplay between Page and the puppie. You left us hanging with a suspenseful ending (nicely done). If I were the author, I might use more pronouns. For my taste, "Page" is a little overused. This is something always on my mind when I write. I usually make that kind of change during review and rewrite. FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH. JeffreyStone

    I have been hit many times for using too many pronouns. Matter of fact when I went for the Quality Seal for one of my novels I didn't get it and one reason was too many pronouns, so I try NOT to use them. I may have over done it. I will recheck. Thank you for the kind review.

This is a nice piece of writing that drips with love and care. Between Paige and her puppy, there's a lot of love. Also between Paige and Cash. Very well written. cheers

Ooh mysterious ending...

Nice brisk pace and good descriptions.

One nit to consider...lightning flashes, and thunder crashes, so 'Lightning crashed as it hit the ground'? It would be the thing it hit maybe, the tree cracking, or something else crashing?

But great story. Great writing.

Well if the ghost rescued her, he must be a nice ghost to have around. This is turning into a real mystery. I'm anxious to read what happens next.

Second review
:)


First review (FOUR stars)

Hi dear B.

Another very good chapter with excellent POV, very true to life dialog and good detail in narrative as well.

I did notice a few things that could use tweaking and fine tuning...suggestions below:



As Paige watched Cash walk down the steps toward his pickup, she held the pup while she stroked his head.

Suggest not repeating the pronoun. Perhaps using a gerund would help:


As Paige watched Cash walk down the steps toward his pickup, she held the pup while stroking his head.

* For sake of flow, suggest removing comma after WHEEL:

Before Cash climbed behind the steering wheel, he called,

* 'Bye."

I understand the ' is because some say good bye, but in USA many people say BYE as opposed to GOODBYE, so I think it can be written without the ' sign.




*She fell and rolled slowly down the small slope(,) landing against an Oak tree.

ALSO, names of trees need not be capped, except in a title. (I looked it up).

* After removing the wet outer clothes, blankets were tucked in around her.

Rather than WERE TUCKED, maybe try TUCKED IN

...blankets tucked in around her.

Just a thought!

*She saw her cell phone on the nightstand, pressed Cash's number, and waited for him to answer.

Seeing the cell and pressing it require a transition of picking it up. Instead of adding a verb, maybe change SAW to GRABBED?

She grabbed her cell phone...

or

She saw her cell phone on the nightstand, grabbed it, pressed Cash's number, and waited for him to answer.

As usual, this is well paced and easy to read.

Do let me know if you make edits, please...

Love,
rd
