When I first looked at the text and saw the short asterisk separated sections I thought 'Oh no.' Then I stared reading and those short sections skilfully pulled me into the story. I have been banging on elsewhere about the desirability of authors to let their readers fill in the gaps. You did just this, you painted the broad strokes and let my imagination fill in the fine details. Very well done indeed!
Terrific narrative, like a literary version of impressionism. A bit herky-jerky at times, but all in all, very enjoyable read. I give it the highest rating.
This story is a prime example why readers shouldn't overlook the "Erotic Coupling" genre. Although not as popular as the loving wives genre, many a gem story can be found in this genre. A well written realistic approach to dating some one maybe not always up to expectations. A pleasant surprise await those that overlook the norm. Thanks author, your effort was appreciated.
