I really enjoyed this Sharron. Loved the dialog and how you developed these characters in just a few words. Good Job.

I went on one date, arranged by my father. Can't imagine why. Kid kissed me at the house... ICK. That was the end of that. Makes me shivver to think about it. He didn't even come up to my shoulders.

20 yrs later I saw a man coming toward me over a hill. It made me gasp.... That's HIM. I knew I'd loved him in a past life. Couldn't shake it. He's been my love 40 years in this life. Very happy us. )))

I like the way both characters decide early-on to drop all pretenses. The girl describing her chaotic apartment, the boy when he says, "By the way, this photo of me was taken yesterday. For what it's worth, that's exactly how I look."

Love the embedded humor; "Tail of Two Cities." Missed it the first time.

Mismatch? Not so sure. If nothing else, the boy may end up with a hipper hair style.

You have a real talent for getting the reader engaged and wanting more of the story.

Loved the dialogue between characters, Sharron! It was very realistic. I also felt I learned some things from them based on what they decided to reveal and how they typed. (Not that spelling is a reflection of someone’s intelligence, but still...)

Great job!

Honesty works most of the time. And opposites do attract. My wife of 42 years will confirm that. I’m rooting for them. 😉
