Hmm, how interesting and how different from the first thing of yours I read ... this one so romanticized, almost like a companion to a Cinderella story. (So much so that I thought at one point your intent was parody.) That was a fun twist at the end. Looking forward to more ...
Thanks Tom! I’ve never written romance before, so I was experimenting with really turning up the romance here to see how it feels. You might like this one: ursulawrites.substack.com/births-marriages-and-deaths. It’s more along the lines of the first thing I wrote
Ah, that’s interesting--it felt like that, as if you were just trying to cast the most rosy glow across the whole scene. I pictured Fabio on the book cover (hope you get that one, may be dating myself). I’ll check out this other one.

Fabio with the long hair blowing in the wind, riding a white stallion shirtless on the beach, of course!
Well, I’ll keep reading ... probably as they come. How often do you crank these out? It’s pretty obvious that you can write about anything.
Thanks so much. I try for one a week with these
