Very clever, Paul.

I read straight through - writing was excellent. Only thing I could offer as I thought Edwards offer to Lynn to leave town with him was a little early in their relationship.

Nice little story you have here. Very smooth read.

Has this changed much from when I read it?

Thanks, Dave. Appreciate the comments.

I'll look and see if I can move that particular moment any.

I can't remember exactly when I shared it with you... but, I don't think it's much different, if at all.

I've moved on to my next feature rather than go through another rewrite on this one.

I think this is at the "tweak around the edges phase." Definitely not worth another read for you.

And, if anyone else takes a gander, they could keep that in mind: notes like Dave's are what I'm hoping for. Anything too big at this point is unlikely to happen for now.

Thanks for asking, and for the earlier read!!

No problem. I look forward to reading your next one :)
