What a really imaginative and enjoyable romance, Mintybee! I never thought this pair would get it together in the beginning and I was cringing at Sally's persistence in talking to him when he was clearly not interested. But you cleverly made this all very credible by the time they arrived at the fair and they realised they had similar back stories. From awkwardness (which is so often a factor when people first become acquainted) to an endearing sense of purpose and friendship - makes this a very refreshing tale of the beginning of a lovely romance. Well done and good luck! I think your professor would be pleased. Debbie

This is an excellent entry for the Romance Writing contest. It was interesting from the beginning to the end. I do not see any need for improvement. Have a blessed day.

This is a well-written story. At first, I thought Sally was too pushy. As the story progressed, I could see the romance building between the two of them. The paragraph that begins with "Oh, okay. See" You wrote "trying to protect himself because a his room." Otherwise, a very good story.

This is excellent work for the challenge. Your presentation is very good. You use expressive words, colorful imagery, and authentic dialogue, that will draw in readers. It is thought provoking also. I enjoyed reviewing this, and I especially liked the romantic ending.

Best wishes,

Alex
