You do a great job of exploring people's insecurities about status and position, and how that affects Cord and Alexandra's behaviour. I love that they're able to talk it out and enhance their understanding of one another. Then the escape room scene is a gentle example of how they're turning into a team. I thought this was a beautifully written chapter.

Nice dialogue. I love escape rooms and you nailed that pretty good. This is definitely interesting work and something that I would read. I'm no grammatical genius, but I couldn't find any errors.

Very nice job Keep up the good work!

Hello Barbara,
I'm afraid I haven't been following your story, but I may have to go back and catch up. You did a great job with the dialogue. I don't have that talent. This is an interesting story, but frankly, the part I liked the very best was the quote at the start-'nothing mends a broken heart like someone wonderful giving you theirs." Brilliant!
Have a blessed day gal.
Tom

The escape room was kind of a mystery. I have to reread the part about why they went there in the first place. Alexandra's parents are wealthy people. So glad that Cord and Ali talk things out...

    why did they go to the escape room? Just part of the city's tour? Or were they trying to solve a case?
reply by the author on 05-Oct-2022
    Just to see it. It was something to do other than the opera or ballet. Cord needed something more active.

I look forward to reading your work, and you didn't disappoint me with this chapter. You did a great job keeping things moving between the discussion in the car and the safe room. I am eagerly waiting for the next installment. Have a great evening. Shirley

I liked this post. I think you did a terrific job with the dialogue between Cord and Alex and we really see all that tension that can develope as people define their relationship. We see Cord struggling with feeling like Alex is too good for him, that she comes from a more priviliged world, and Alex trying to make him feel at ease and that she is comfortable with who he is. And then the two of them working together in the escape room is the perfect metaphor for the need to work together in life. estory

This is another excellent chapter. You have moved your story along nicely. I knew Cord's ego would get in the way sometimes. I d9o not see any room for improvement.

This is another excellent chapter, Barbara. I enjoy how the story reads easily, and you take your time with Cord and Ali's life events. It always makes it seem natural. Best, JohnC.

I enjoyed this as they face another snag in their romance but are able to come to an agreement. I have never been in an escape room, not sure I really want to do something like that, but glad they were able to solve the problem.

There are so many little things that can come between young couples as they learn about each other, most of the time, things that won't make any difference later on. LOL. Thanks for sharing.
