When one tosses back a few drinks, one's lips loosen up. This story is progressing nicely, Jacob. You have a hook here, and I look forward to the next chapter. Who the hell is this and how is it the last time he said he seen him, Danielle was only six. I'm thinking of time travel.

I'm intrigued, my friend. Well done.
God bless,
Steve

This is certainly a strange development and I'm not surprised Danielle is wary and a bit resistant. That said, the clincher seems be the photograph. He's drawn her in now and her curiosity has been sparked even more. Your chapter is well expressed and infused with tension regarding this meeting and the unknown hanging over Danielle. I feel sorry for her especially because she's on her own and can't speak to her parents. A couple of edits: dro(p)ping off to sleep
and one of your Dads needs an initial capital letter.
Well done! Debbie

This was a very interesting chapter. I'm getting a better feel for the story and I'm anxious to read more. This mystery is one that makes me want to read more and find out why the parents were killed and who Jeremiah might be.

Hi, Jacob

Your work is excellently edited I look hard for mistakes and I do not find any

I thought you could've entered this into one of the flash fiction contest, but I guess since it's a book chapter that probably wouldn't work

So Danielle has been given quite a shock

This guy knows her birth parents!! He said he hadn't seen her since she was six. I missed some past chapters and I don't know how old she was when her parents were murdered.

I think it was six because I remember she was quite a bit younger than her brother who I think was 15 but she could've been nine cause I think there might've been a six year age difference I'm not so sure. It seems like I read at least one chapter in this book.

I don't know and maybe this was explained in a prior chapter who the adoptive parents are. Are they relatives who adopted her or are they strangers?

She's lucky that somebody did want her and it sounds like they're good parents to her. So they're angels her angels.

I enjoyed reading your book chapter

Good job. Thank you for sharing.

    Her adoptive parents aren't any relation to her, she was six when her parents killed by her brother, Harvey, and he was fourteen at the time. He's now thirty-four and she's twenty-six in the present. Thank you Pam, I'm really pleased that you enjoyed it

Intriguing? You've got the "detective" in me asking all kinds of questions. Why were the women wearing all white? Is it a cult or something? And what's Jeremiah got going on whether with her brother or someone else? Very interesting!
Smiles, Carol

I want to know who Jeremiah is too. I am also curious why both females had on white. It seems a little strange. What were her parents into? Thank you for sharing.
