You love her and want to give her a good smack all in the same moment and you just shake your head and wish "applesauce" luck.

The momentary vulnerability and Brian's reaction pulled the reader all the way in--the banter could have become abrasive but you kept it in control.<br /><br />You've developed compelling characters and an intriguing serial.

I hope to revisit them again.<br /><br />Melody - thanks, it is fun to see where the dialogue plays out with these two.<br /><br />Greyscale - Well put. This is definitely gelling into a love/hate relation between these two.<br /><br />Anthony - glad you enjoyed, thanks for reading.<br /><br />Tammy - thank you!<br /><br />Andy - this week was a good one for anagrams. We had all the vowels to use this time!<br /><br />Bunnygirl - Yes she is a bit quirky isn't she? Future installments should reveal their destination, I won't leave that one unanswered.<br /><br />Americanising - Thanks for checking it out! Appreciate the feedback!<br /><br />Donna - Glad you enjoyed and took away an lol or two. I apologize this is a bit of an ongoing tale and for those tuning in recently, like yourself, it may not all come together. The 3 prior entries relevant to this one are listed in the intro. "Meeting Savannah" would be chronologically first, then "The New Assignment" and "In the Line Of Duty" most recently. Thanks for visiting and commenting!Jay R.

Guess I was primed for laughter when I started reading this. (lol)<br /><br />Srsly, this was awesome. "Sassy Girl" is right. Excellent character building through the dialogue. I'm impressed; and envious. Its extremely difficult to convey a story in dialogue, and you did it so well.<br /><br />I'm checking out entries from the 3WW link, to get a feel for the concept before signing on. I'm sure I'll be spending a little more time here though. <br /><br />Thanks so much for the laugh tonight. I appreciated it.<br /><br />.........dholedolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-790808303699616550.post-28273376240363636662010-05-27T01:51:58.737-04:002010-05-27T01:51:58.737-04:00wow what a 3ww attempt! i really am impressed :)wow what a 3ww attempt! i really am impressed :)Americanising Desihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04089753612782157378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-790808303699616550.post-38083282151890625462010-05-26T23:45:51.784-04:002010-05-26T23:45:51.784-04:00Goofy girl.
