You did a great job, Gretchen, focusing on Miranda and
Mitch in this chapter. I enjoyed reading it. I liked Miranda's
thoughts about the earlier kisses in her life and how the one
with Mitch was different. This chapter provided a perfect
opportunity to give great and important details about the
backstory of both Miranda and Mitch. Now that is out of the
way for a while, and you can focus on where their relationship
is headed.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

I must admit, I like this post. It certainly fits into what I like in some people, despite their untidy backgrounds they've figured what the don't want to clutter it up anymore, it's better to be unhappily single than unhappily married, unless you meet someone who thinks like you, and makes the apples zing, well done, Gretchen, blessings Roy

Well done
Comment from Rachelle Allen
Oh, WOW!! Those are HUGE words he just said!! I'm starting to actually hope this unusual coupling has some promise.
I like being let in on the full menu of Miranda's romantic past rather than the little "bites" you've doled out along the way. Now it all makes sense to me and gives me a good picture of why she approaches life/men the way she does. The "for better or worse" part was especially understandable and illuminating, because she's shown us so often that she doesn't quit on people. Super well done, Gretchen.
I just LOVED the line, "If his kiss were a casserole, I'd definitely go back for seconds." HAHAHAHAHA. Hilarious. You're so good about giving me at least one super belly laugh with each chapter...and it's usually compliments of Miranda's take on something.
Equally endearing was:
You do like barbeque, don't you?"
"Do I look like a communist?"
He laughs. "I'll take that as a yes."
And, of course, the Johnny Appleseed comment was perfection-plus. It evoked, for me, the memory of this variety show from the 70's called "Laugh-In." One of the skits they'd do was "The Farkles" --this family of something like ten kids who all looked like the next-door neighbor rather than the handsome father, Fred Farkle.
Anyway, wonderful chapter. It was a good "breather" from the non-stop action we've had the last several chapters, but there was also good progress made with character (and RELATIONSHIP) development. I continue to enjoy this novel very much and look forward to next week's installment!

Thank you. For the review, the six, and for the Farkle reference. Lol. Gretchen
Comment from barbara.wilkey
I have a feeling it will make it into the ten percent of unbroken promises. I really like Mitch with Miranda. They make a commonsense couple. That's a good thing. I know there's a few issues to work out, but still it can be done. This is a good write.

Comment from Ric Myworld
You brought back a lot of memories with this piece. Billy Ray Cyrus and I shared a bunch of mutual friends, so we hung out at a lot of the same places. Well, until Achy Breaky Heart, and I didn't want anyone to know I knew him. LOL. A high school friend, Joe Gaye's cousin, Marvin came to visit a few times. But the most memorable times were shagging with somebody's baby at the beach to the Drifters or the Dominoes and such. Shag as in dance, unlike the meaning in London, England. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

I'm from the coastal south. I know which shag you meant. Lol. Nothing like that music. Jr. Walker and the Allstars. Thank you for this awesome review. I appreciate it. Gretchen

I knew you were aware of the shag that I meant, I was just being my silly self. I still love that music better than all others. It just brings good times to mind! I'd like to do it all again.
Comment from John Ciarmello
Hi, Gretchen,
Well, lunch went pretty well and things are heating up for Miranda and Mitch. Miranda is careful with her feelings for Mitch and that all fits in perfectly to this scene and what she has gone through in past relationships. I love where you left it. Best, JohnC

I thought your dialogue was very good. I haven't read any other parts of this work, so I may be out of the loop. However, in the first part, is the conversation with Mitch? I wasn't sure. Anyway, nice job.

I think you have to have so many letters and characters in your review. Like 150 or so. Thank you for this awesome rating and review. Gretchen

Comment from Wendy G
This sounds very promising. Seems like they would suit each other. But I'm waiting for Missy to come back and accuse her of ingratiating herself with the sheriff. And the bodies - who are they? Excellent writing.

Typo: "He lets it out on the table" should be "lets".

Thank you for catching that. It's going to take a couple of chapters to find out who the bodies are. Lol. Didnt seem to be realistic to find out immediately. I really appreciate your review. Gretchen
