What a lovely read. Well done. You are doing great even in spite of your injury. I guess the dramas are coming. I look forward to where this is going. No spags.

Wow, a man speaking marriage to a woman he's only kissed about a dozen times. Where can you get one of those these days? :)) Another interesting chapter, Barbara. Wedding bells soon I hope.

This is a beautiful chapter, Barbara. It's wonderful the way Gabriel is slowly integrating into the family and the boys are happy about it. I'm also glad he and Katherine are now officially dating. He is a sweetheart.

I've started another one of your great stories in the middle. I have some catch up work to do. I did not find any errors, and I look forward to reading more of your work. Have a wonderful evening. Shirley

Another optimistic interaction--the M-word!--they've turned a corner, but still have much to discuss and you have them do so realistically. Fine chapter!

Don't assume OMIT COMMA she does.

The story is moving according to the world where your characters exist. I like that you had Katherine address her issue of feeling not so special. Gabe thinks it a sign of low self-esteem, but story wise, she is correct. We haven't been given much to show she is special, or deserving all that attention and constant help.

I would suggest to help in world building. The reader is also shown more of why such PG-13 behavior is needed in that world. Maybe show a couple showing PDA and losing their jobs or run out of town. Something to explain the oddness.



She turned to walk away. "I'll set the table.["]

    Too many people this is not odd behavior, only to a few. Really! Just because our society has become immoral doesn't make morality wrong. Thank you for the kind review and the catch. I appreciate your comments, I just don't always agree.

You've got the relationship between male and female completely sorted, and you take your cue from God. Despite His overwhelming right to take possession of us He doesn't, He takes the lead and shows us how it's done. You have apprehended this in your story, He treats us with the utmost respect, this is why we find God the consummate lover, all other relationships should be like this, even disciplining our own children, well done, blessings Roy
Typo : I can(,) or at least.

    Thank you. I need to be reminded. I take heat every week, at least from one reviewer who feels I'm out of touch.

I've never been to homecoming but it looks and sounds like a lot of fun. Gabriel is too much sometimes, really, LOL. Katherine needs to stop beating up on herself. Gabriel's the one. Can't wait for the next chapter!! And I'm glad your wrist is getting better, slowly, but better. ;)
