We see this dance between Katherine and Gabriel continuing, as she has this little talk with him about this race, and Mr. Edwards seems to have discerned there is something going on between them. It's all realistic and the dialogue continues to be good, but this chapter does seem to be dancing around the main movement a bit. I would move the story along a little more, cut a more meaningful exchange between them and a more important developement in their relationship. estory

I will consider the advice and thank you for it.
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Love this one. I have everything crossed for the girls to win the race, even though I'm sure they will. I can just see the boys faces when they have to pick a dance!! Wonderful chapter, and now I can't wait to read what happens. Well done, Barbara. Sorry it's so late, I thought everything was done with our moving but it's not just furniture and curtains to worry about, there are so many other things we don't think of!! :))Sandra xxx

I understand how difficult moving is. Having been a military spouse for 23 years, we moved at least every 3 years, sometimes more often. Thank you for the kind review.

Poor coach nervous about the race and maybe that damn map will help with the race for the girls. Thank you for sharing and good luck with your next chapter.

Comment from amahra
My son must have been a serious Mama's boy because if I wasn't there to congratulated him after the game, I had to hear his mouthy complaints late. And I hope Katherine's concern about the race is not a setup for her girl's defeat. Great chapter.

the race is on and who will win? Katherine or Gabriel? In the following chapter we will find out...there is always so much competition even in running....good sportsmanship is a plus.

Comment from Ulla
Hi Barbara, this is another fine chapter and it clearly shows how much she cares about the girl team. Now, as I do live in Europe, I don't know a lot about the game but the nervous anticipation comes through loud and clear. Ulla:)))

Comment from Pam (respa)
-A good chapter that sets
things up for the challenge.
-The discussion about the
event is done well in the first half.
-I like the ending of that part
when Gabe and Mr. Edwards
talk about Katherine having set
Gabe up. It should be interesting
to see what happens.
-I wonder if Gabe will come
up with something to counter her plans?
-The second half is also good
as Katherine tries to get Gabe's
attention because she doesn't
have the map for the challenge.
-Well done, Barbara.

There's a lot going on here in terms of the interaction between characters. It's interesting and adds spice. I'm enjoying the manoeuvring and jockeying for advantage!

Comment from Wendy G
I am looking forward to the big event - and seeing how the boys and their coach handle defeat by the girls! You show understanding of teenage boys and their embarrassment re their mothers. Well written.
