Oh sweet cheese on a cracker! This is agonizing!
I was feeling so smug figuring the author she'd never met was the "mystery man" --and (shocker!) I was wrong...
And then, with your trademark twist, there he was...
But the woman?
Is it too late for eggnog and a splash of rum?
Another chapter!
Here I go!

You know I can't let anything be straight forward .... gotta have those twists and turns. Glad you enjoyed it.

I'd be lost without them!

Comment from LJbutterfly
Of course, things are not as bad as Kendra imagines. At least she knows why the man of her dreams was not on the train. When she finally meets him and is able to talk to him, she'll find out he was in an accident and a dear friend or relative is caring for him. I hope Kendra is right. Somehow, she'd been wrong about what she saw.

Now we know why I don't write romances...everything is so obvious, I guess. i can put a few surprises in but I'm just not good at this. Glad it will only be a short. Eleanor is calling. LOL

That's an intriguing way to end your chapter on, Carol. I think, like Kendra, I too would be annoyed if someone started quoting Buddy the elf at me, it's certainly not one of my favourite Christmas films. I really enjoyed reading your chapter.

Thanks, Jacob! I believe Kendra has been struck by "love at first sight" and regardless who the other man was, she wouldn't give him a shot. Thought, nice guy or not, this one sounded BORING ...talking tax figures, etc. Thanks for reading...hope we move forward with the right man.
Smiles, Carol
Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
Kendra doesn't give Tim much attention, although he seemed nice and might have been a good prospect. However, the lure of someone she didn't even get to talk to can make a strong attachment. To see him injured with another woman who seems to know him well feels heartbreaking when it happens. She needs to meet him before she gives up.

Too much boring talk about tax figures on a first date...LOL He was a nice guy but Kendra is "love struck" and no one has a chance.

I like the way you string us along Carol,, knowing full well what the stranger and his female friend are heh, heh, and now you through in a clever variable in the male friend of Rachel, but the attractive, now bashed up stranger is still on herring, well done Carol, blessings Roy

The heart knows what it wants and it seldom listens to the brain. So dear Kendra is caught in the web and has no way of knowing how to resolve her emotions. Guess I might have to help her out. LOL

Yep, I've been there
Comment from Karen Cherry Threadgill
I had a somewhat similar experience. I met a nice man. A bit older. He was from Oklahoma. We had a date and he went home with me. I was freshly separated from an abusive man, and we connected. He sent me a card from the airport but he forgot to put on his address. He probably thought I blew him off. It was 1985 and I could not look him up anywhere. A missed opportunity. I wonder.
In the deep dark night. Good writing. Karen

I still think of my first "love" when I was 16...He creeps back into my thoughts every now and then and brings along a what if. The mind and heart like to play tricks on us like that.

What if's are bittersweet. But sometimes when I was depressed from my health and abusive husband, I would dream of what if, It soothed me. :-)
Comment from Wendy G
I think and hope it will be his sister! At least she didn't kiss him, as a wife or girlfriend might have done.... But how will she find out? A fine chapter, and you are leaving us in suspense, which is a good thing to do!
Wendy
Edit: Kendra's gaze strayed to Mark and Tom as they talked shop, (Tim)? Or did you do that because later she couldn't remember if it was Tim or Tom?

Comment from Cecilia A Heiskary
Carol,
What a great chapter to your novella. Oh poor Kendra fawning over a man she doesn't even know. I wonder how it will turn out for her? I'm an optimistic and will go out on a limb and say it's all going to work out in her favor.
Well done my friend. I hope you are having a beautiful day and staying warm.
Love ya lots,
Cecilia

This one will only be a handful of chapters unless I start to go crazy...(start? I already am) and then who knows where the story will go. Though I do have Eleanor bugging me too. And I'm off to North Carolina in 12 days. Hurrah!

Carol,
Look at you go girl. You tell Elenor she can wait until the new year. So you can have fun in North Carolina without stressing out.

Still haven't heard who is going to win Write a Book in a Month contest. Don't even have an inkling who I am competing against. I don't think that's fair...We should know who has entered it. Anyhow, trying to make sure I hold on to first place in novels and would like to move up to 2nd place in short stories, but getting past Raul who only gets 2 or 3 reviews has become a real battle. I don't understand it. Oh well, I am just here to write. Love ya, Carol
-
Carol,
Miracles was an awesome book and should win first place. If you don't they are cheating. I don't know how Raul is ahead, because I have read some of his stuff and I'm not impressed. You are better than him. I'm praying for you to win first place.
Love ya sister,
Cecilia

Thanks so much...but you are biased...after all you're my sister. Love ya
-
Maybe I am biased, but I have read his stuff and I'm not impressed. That's why if I click on something and its his story I just click on to the next one. Just saying.
Comment from Tim Margetts
Not then, Carol.
You are starting to do that twisty-turney thingamies you like to do, aren't you?
How am I supposed to wait for another chapter when you do this to me? Hmm?
Sigh
Next please
