I've had this one in the back of my head for quite a while.

Enjoy!

A promising start, Matt!  I see you're taking a leaf from my book and going to Westbrook Electronics.  Have fun!  Cheesy

What story did you mention Westbrook? I don't remember it, but then, again, it was more than five minutes ago. Wink

Ooh, another part.   Smiley
Off to read after a championship bout of killing moss on the patio.

It was one of my Chandra stories, "Noblest of All."  Chandra's mom Rosetta Shakespeare met Straker while undercover at Westbrook for the Chronosian government.

I enjoyed their first meeting in your story!  Kiss  However, I have a problem with one of your sentences.  You wrote: "As he met her eyes with his, it was as if she could see to the depth of his soul."  Who's point of view are you taking here, because you were with Straker, but the second half of the sentence seems to be from Ginny's POV.  It's just too unclear with the wording.  If you meant that Straker felt as though she could see into his soul, you might want to clarify that.  It's a poignant moment and you don't want to spoil it with poor syntax.  Just saying.  No offense intended.  You know me.  I love a romantic moment!  Wink

That's why I didn't remember it, I haven't read your Chandra series. (Shame on me. Embarrassed)

I fixed the passage, it now reads; "As he met her eyes with his, he felt as if she could see to the depth of his soul."

I agree, it is a powerful moment, and I don't want the reader to be confused. Very good critique, no offense taken.  Wink

Notice, I haven't clued the reader into Ginny's thoughts, that comes later.  Kiss

For me too, Matt!  Doesn't reality suck sometimes?  The stress has got to let up sooner or later, though.  (At least, that's what I keep telling myself!)  Wink

Going to try and finish this. Deb, could you turn on the light bulb for the story? I must have forgotten when I first posted it. Thanks.

Nice new section, Matt! Smiley  It's good to see someone writing!  Maybe it'll help me to be motivated enough to finally figure out a way to get some time to myself so I can write!!!!!!
