Hi, Gretchen.
Sorry if I sent you a muddled reply. My finger slipped while typing.:)

You have written another great chapter. I could see Rory's eagerness to meet Cassie and the urgency to get Dean out of the house. You showed so well the scene where Dean was about to take the keys, and how Rory dodged the situation. I felt so badly for Rory when Cassie used him for just a ride. This is something that can happen at that age, kids very self-centered and not aware of the feelings of others. You showed this well.
Bye
Rosalyne :)

You show Rory's impatience effectively
good description of Charla
She wants to separate once they get to the party - that certainly is not good for his expectations of this "date"
good dialogue throughout

Dad and Charla seem to hit it off, as they finbally leave the house.
Rory enacts his plan as he leaves in Dad's truck to pick up cassie.

It seems clear things are in flux, as Cassie aims to seek friends at the party, and she is not settled with Rory.
He adores her, almost worships theground she walks on.

Your descriptions are great, Gretchen. The dialogue great.

Don

Wow, that's cold. Any fool could see they were on a date. Seems like she's playing him. Anyway, loved the chapter even though I'm just coming to it.

I climb up in to [into]the cab and look around in disgust. do you mean 'into'?


I run back to my room and splash [on] some aftershave on. I don't think you want to end a sentence with a preposition.

I hate it when people step in to my novels when they are well underway and here I have done it to you. I will only review what I read today and I didn't notice any SPAG. Good job.

What a comedown! Wow, Here he is out on a limb and she is just using him for transportation. Poor kid. I hope he can get her to the party and return home before he is caught. I hope he is smart enough to do that. Kudos Gretchen! Nancy

"Dream Date" This is a very well thought out chapter you have created here. Sometimes we screw up messages all on our own. Women have a mind all of their own, and they never share their thoughts outright. Well done.

The tone and the atmosphere is set from the opening lines. Good, clear and intense dialogue. Good transition between the events. Nice steady pace leading to a conclusion that leaves me wondering what will happen next.
