That doesn't sound good, Miranda must start taking things seriously or she could come a cropper. And I don't want that!! I like Preston, he's sensible as well as brainy. Now, who was that by the dumpster? I wonder if I'll find out in the next part? Hmm. Loving this story, my clever friend. :)) Sandra xxx

It's nice that the old man has returned to thank Miranda for her help, even though he couldn't do it personally. It's great that Preston is so affable. Miranda may even find an ally. Now, who was by the dumpster? Hmm.

Nicely paced story moving along smoothly. I like your charactersdevelopment. Mirandais an interesting woman. I love whenshe tells Ritato back up or she'll kill her. LoL. Preston turn out to be a good. Guy. He brings up a good point about the creepy man by the dumpster. What's going on? .... suspenseful ending.... cliffhanger.
Well done! You are an exceptional writer.

Thank you. If a customer tells me I'm sweet or nice, I will always tell them not to let that kind of information out. Thanks for this. Gretchen
Comment from Sankey
Great chapter, again. I am glad Miranda likes the young help. Keep it all coming. Can't wait for more of your stuff. Did you ever consider continuing with Jameson and Fin after Iris?

Comment from Jay Squires
Preston!? Didn't you use him in the last story as the young man who had just moved to town? He seemed cock-sure like this Preston. If I'm right, I'm just curious why you would use the same name in consecutive stories. At any rate I do like him as a character. I'll be curious to find out what the subtext was to the carnations in the cup.

This is the very same Preston who was Terry Joe's friend. I hinted at his being in this story by having him go get his Gatorade and snacks with Terry Joe. I liked his character. He's full of personality. What makes you think the carnations are anything more than a smitten old man's gesture? Lol. Thanks for this. Gretchen

This is a very well written chapter and has some spookiness to it also. You used great descriptive words and very good dialogue. I look forward to your next chapter! love and blessings, teri

Comment from nancy_e_davis
they put the [flowers] in the cup or did you?"
I wish your post was longer every time you post, Gretchen. LOL Doesn't Matt have a camera documenting the parking lot? I am always happy to see a Marinda chapter, but want to enjoy more when we get one. Well done... just too short.
The part about Preston is wonderful. He is just behaving in a way that will endure him to Marinda for sure. She understands young boys and that is a fact. LOL Well done. They will get into a lot of mischief together. He rushes in where fools fear to tread. Nancy:)

Comment from Wendy G
Good for Preston to notice the guy hanging aroundand he will be up to no good. I'm a bit suspicious of the guy who couldn't fill up his car, and now brings flowers. He seems a bit too sweet and disarming. I feel that there is a net enclosing Miranda at present. It's an ending filled with suspense, so I am looking forward to more.
