i'm glad that things are going well for you. i really like this scene. i like Emma and Mike, as well. something tells me Mike is all a woman could wish for: strong, responsible, trustworthy, gentle, one of those big, quiet men who know how to keep a woman safe. for Emma it my feel a little suffocating, at first. for a woman my age, that would be... impossible to find, because them good guys are in love with girls in their twenties... rant over, that's not what i feel about Emma, because i identify with her, oddly enough; only now, in my forties, i'm beginning to feel the urge to pack light and leave. bad timing� anyway, i'm babbling. but maybe that�s a good thing. see how many emotions you have awakened in this humble beta reader� it feels real and it flows. thanks for sharing! keep coming back!

Mike is all that, but he's got a few skeletons in his closet that keep him from really stepping up. But we'll get to that later...

She does chafe a bit at his coddling, but I think she'll learn to like it.

And all the good guys my age are gay. I feel ya.

I'm glad you're resonating with the piece. This was one of the more personal sections, about running from things and whatnot, that I've written in a long time. So good to see it strike a chord. There shall be more to follow!
