I know the biopsy won't be good news and K suspects the same. Gabe will cope and help them all. He is right to teach a lesson about self-discipline - that is a lesson for life, and won't be quickly forgotten. Well written.

i'm glad Gabe held the line against his errant players. It will be a good lesson for them. I think Katherine made the right decision about not telling Gabe about the biopsy until she's learned the results. He'd be worrying needlessly and making a fuss. You do a great job of showing Gabriel's relationship with Katherine's sons. He seems to be in love with them, too. And he can provide the male touch they need. Great chapter. judi

It seems that Gabriel is proving what a great coach should be, and even if it affects the team's percentage, that's worth the sacrifice to perfect the discipline that brings about a champion team, which will always beat a team of champions beautifully written Barbara, well done, blessings Roy

They sure have done a great job of keeping their distance for a long time in a world where most are full steam ahead these day. It would be great to bring back the thrill of the chase where young people could gain that sense of appreciation. Thanks for sharing. Hope you got a good report on the wrist!

    I honestly believe a relationship needs to grow and be nurtured. Because it doesn't happen any more, I think is a direction relationship to our high divorce rate. Thank you for the kind review.

Brilliant dialog--every word, as always, believable, as is her reluctance to tell Gabriel about the biopsy--her anxiety is made manifest--brings me back to a scare I got years ago.

I think it is a good idea to post the chapter, I have thought of doing the same. It is for sure we will hear wedding bells in time. Good one, Barb. I see nothing wrong.

Gabriel knows something's going on with Katherine. She might as well tell him now. I like that discipline comes first with him. That's something that will stand any young person in good stead in the future.

Once again I enjoyed your chapter. It must be very hard for Katherine not to share what is going on with Gabriel, since she knows he really cares. I especially liked a line: "No. He wants a well-disciplined team. If they don't follow the rules, they don't play." Sounds like he is dedicated to his job.
