"A tall one is she? I'd go with the longer chain." He showed me how it would look and I agreed. I got the slip and a little bag and we bid each other a good day and I moved on. I stopped in a cafe and smiled as I ordered coffee and sat by the window. I had paused long over the case with the engagement and wedding rings, and thought hard about the decision, the actual decision to propose wasn't the problem, not for me at least, but the timing was everything. I was very sure that Cate loved me as much as I did her, I was also very aware that we had only been together a very short time, which was the major issue between us. Our biggest argument to date was her jumping on me in her apartment over feelings of lost freedom. I'd carefully shied away from making decisions on everything from what to eat, to what to watch on television. She chilled any time the subject came up, whether it be her 'be careful' response to the word 'proposal' or once or twice when the word engagement came up. I wouldn't make the decision until I found the source of her apprehension. Until then I hoped the pendant I got her would be a welcome addition, and nice accessory for her outfit tonight.

Lions86over 2 years agoi swear anon accounts pick some of the dumbest shit to complain about. who cares how many times the author says "eyebrows wiggled" it does nothing to detract from the story what so ever.
dgfergieabout 3 years agoWhat to say? A story that has caused a tear or two for me, in happy and thoughtful way of course. Of coarse I'm giving up a few man points admitting that. After losing a wife of 40 years 2 years ago I'm getting bit emotional on the two year anniversary this month of my lose. Good story and don't listen to some of the inane criticisms.
meduckiesabout 4 years agoLiked the way you incorporated the maritimes in your story. Puts a smile on while reading. on to PT07
Anonymousover 5 years agoI've read 5 and 6. All very good, I'm hoping to see an additional chapter or so.
Anonymousover 6 years agoHi, I am reading all of your work so might be getting oversensitive to your default scenarios. In this section I realised that you have really overused the eyebrow wriggling to the point that all I can imagine is a pair of clowns gurning at each other. I really think that your work is good but you should maybe get an editor. This is getting into a bit of an overlong ramble, a bit of editing, pcroof reading and less eyebrow exercise would transform it into a gem as opposed to a rough diamond.
oldbones7over 7 years agoVery nicely done - pacing, characters, tension around Cate's back story, very appealing! Looking forward to the next chapter(s) of this story - please don't keep us hanging...
Anonymousover 7 years agoI've really enjoyed this story line. Please don't stop now!

Anonymousover 7 years agoI've seen some others worry about samar, please don't ruin it by having her sleep with him. Its too predictable. Also no more her getting assualted, she's been thru it twice
dc6370over 7 years agoAbsolutely love the story. I just have this funny feeling about Samar, and the New Years' Eve party. We shall soon see.
Anonymousover 7 years agoI am hooked and can't wait for the drama with the ex to ramp up,
TheOldRomanticover 7 years agoYesterday I wondered what had happened, five chapters in a row (one a day) and yesterday nothing ... I was worried if something had happened. Today I have seen that if anything happened, you was writing another longer and excellent chapter. I still think you writes especially for me (although I know it's certainly not). As indicated in another reader's comment, there was some words that confused me, but it was nothing really important or that made sense of this magnificent story. I think what is really important in this story is the fact that the feelings that both a man and a woman want to find in their partner, love, sincerity, respect, trust, even fear and doubts, especially if there had previously been a stormy relationship with another person. I really like the approach of the characters in this story, their lack of evil and their true passion (at least, until this moment). Few authors in Lit have managed to please me so much with the reading of their stories. I do not mean to disparage anyone, it's just that you write like I like it.
Waiting to read the next chapter asap.
5 * for you.
I apologize for my English (yet, and forever), is not my native language.
