The voice to me was too Forrest Gumpish. You see my late finace'/ husband was from the south, Hartselle, Alabama and although he had a beautiful southern drawl, it was natural and the one in your story seems forced, rather than real. It kind of pulled me out of the story a bit.

Sorry, probably shouldn't have mentioned it. But I remembered Brian commenting on what New Yorkers thought about the south and he said, we don't all sound like that etc. That's why it hit home with me.
