I liked the nice slow buildup, and I'm sure most readers could identify with the characters. Brian probably thought it was Christmas instead of Valentines day when he discovered her piercings. But, seriously, hot chocolate and peppermint schnapps, ewwwwwww!
finest kind. I thought it was well written and well plotted with a good buildup in the beginning.
Able writing merits praise, and you've got it in spades. I'll definitely be reading more of your work. Good luck in the contest.
I love your work! What a great addition! I will always come back for more! :-)
Good luck, masked-author. I hope you win the Valentine's Day Contest.
Loved the build-up and emotion prior to the two getting together romantically. Very well-written and creative story. Bravo!
Your story had a very natural sense of realism and rhythm making it effortless to connect to your characters.
that was fun. i loved the build up and the fact that the characters were unaware of each other's desire. what a great valentine's day. now if only i had a hot neighbor...
Loved the story and the writing. I enjoyed this more than the contest winning stories; keep up the good work!
