This was an interesting approach to a happily ever after. It has a good flow to it, and I lke that you emphasized that she was advised more than once that he didn't want her to go. It's a testament to how fearful people become when their heart is at stake.

Excellent writing! Your dialogue is awesome and moves the story at a brisk pace and gives the whole chapter a very realistic feel. Can't gurantee I can get back through all the chapters, but I'm glad I read this one as it wasn't confusing for not having read all the others.

Genuinely pro-prose!

This is a great ending. You got her back with an auction she wanted to win so Cord couldn't find someone new. And Cord didn't know how to win her until she was there to buy him.

This seems well done with memorable scenes here. Ali sure got herself the bargain of a lifetime. $1,000 for true love would attract anyone! I think there were only the tiniest of possible fixes left after all your editing.
off stage
I would say: offstage

You're right it should be offstage. I made the correction. Thank you for dropping by and leaving this kind review.

What a beautiful fairy-tale ending/beginning for their life. Like all couples, they will have their problems to overcome in the future, but this feels like
...And they lived happily ever after.

I am sure they lived happily ever after. I can't imagine any different. Thank you for the encouragement.

This was a fitting end to this wonderful story, Barbara. How could it have ended any other way? (It would have been such a disappointment if it had!)

I enjoyed reading this story very much and looked forward to each chapter. Best of luck with your editors and with future publication. Jim

I was waiting for something that said, "And then Ali woke up from her dream . . ." Well, I love a happy ending and I'm glad this one gave it to me.

It's been a nice journey, Barbara. Can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve for your next write.

Thank you for the encouragement. My next novel is more faith based. I'm worried about it, but will post it anyway.

"... Romance, romance, romance ..." Courtesy of the Four Preps' "26 Miles."
Even in a corporate jet, it's a long haul across Tayksus, much less cross-country.
True Love?
Your genre has always fascinated me.
I like the formula.
You have such a lot of interesting people, too.
Now what?
Live long and write well,

I like the ending of your story; and the title, The Compromise, you have chosen. It does seem Ali and Cord always have had questions about their relationship. Good luck.
