Another well written classic. You are doing well in keeping with rules of the world you've created.

notes:

"We did, and I do. I won't talk about it. I wish I could've spent a few minutes alone with him." Gabriel started to walk away.

- this is an odd thing for him to say. Kat, never said it was her husband who didn't want to do it. And, What would've Gabe said to her husband, "Go home and screw your wife! Do it twice."

No man who likes a woman would. The last thing he wants or to think of is someone else doing her more than he has or at all.

I would consider removing this sequence.

    I have rewritten that sentence about 7 times. I 'm still not happy with it. I think I'll take your advice and just omit it. Thank you for the kind review.

H Barbara, this is another great chapter and the story is moving on. I liked it. Now, I found the following that doesn't make a lot of sense: 'I'd never I'd have met him.' I'm not quite sure what the sentence should say. All best. Ulla:)))

    I've changed that sentence so many times. I hope I have it correct, now. Thank you for pointing it out.

Dear Barbara, It was not until Gabe made all these announcements that I realized how big this fictional high school of yours is, Have you decided on how many students, I'm going to be involved in the life of Katherine's four sons?

    I'm guessing a little under 2000 students. I hope you're involved with Katherine's boys. They're important to the story. Thank you for the kind review.

Like magnets with increasing forces Katherine and Gabriel seem to be drawing closer with every segment. Well, all but when she saw him without clothes. Although, if I were a betting man, it was probably more attracting than repelling. Thanks for sharing.

    I have a feeling you're correct about the towel incident, but Katherine will never admit it. Thank you for the kind review.

I love the way Coach Gabriel is written. I wish that there had been a coach Gabriel in my life when I was in school at any level. I believe that my life might have taken a different direction, definitely a better direction. This is a wonderful story.

I'm glad Gabriel emphasized to the students at the pep rally that it's a good idea for them to become involved in some extracurricular activity, even if it isn't sports. Most schools have a great number of options for the students. The teachers certainly deserve credit for taking on the responsibility of sponsoring the clubs. It means a lot of extra hours for them. I don't know how Katherine's going to do it. She'll be so busy with coaching the girls' track team, plus she has her family and her classes to think about. The pressure's really going to be on for her. I'm eager to see how she survives it all. judi
