Many apologies. I had fixed that AND the spacing AND a couple of other editorial issues I found. As a professional journalist/editor I assure you that these mistakes are driving me to distraction. But the changes refused to "save" and every time I try to fix the issues it just won't take. Believe me, I am aware and much more aggravated by it than you are! LOL! But thanks for mentioning.
And thanks everyone for the nice comments! I'm sorry the last 3 chapt's were a day later than I had hoped...xo :)

Gary and Beverly, Gary and Virginia...

This is not to pick on you, but many writers seem to have the same issue. Having the story proofread, edited, checked for spelling and grammar only makes a good story better.

Adorable! I loved the romance of waiting almost 40 years, but it's still so sad that they missed out due to pride and, well, fear. But it's the end that matters, a happy ending. Good work.

LOL! Finally! Whew! :)

Without a doubt my favorite story. Quite well-written. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Looking forward to reading the others you have published, and those you will publish in the future.

Oh my, I have enjoyed it. Looking forward to more from you... Thanks for posting!

Nicely done giving away what she got from Aruther Gordon, surprised by Perry's admission that he had chose to leave her everything years earlier. Glad Paul left them alone at the house. Della just doing what she does best, by getting their lives back in order. Perry seemed a bit surprised. Gertie wanting to rejoin them as well. Finally got them into bed together as lovers.

Finally got it figured out. Jr. thought he knew it all about them. He found out alot about them in a short time. Can't blame Della for making Perry eat the coconut chocolates. Not crazy about coconut myself. Nicely done.

Can't blame Perry for refusing. They tried to help, the couple and the press certainly didn't help. Perry would always protect or atleast try to protect Della. Nicely done.

Always the protector and yes regardless they were back together and the press would have a field day with that fact. At least they seemed to clear the air about the earlier part of their relationship and who got between them. Della does have a point, thirty years of hanging around him, certainly would know how to commite a murder and get away with it, either forever or long enough to get away. The press is just having a field day, digging into their past and the family seems to be out for revenge of sorts. Looking forward to more.

Ow... don't leave me hanging here ...

Loved the fact his law clerk couldn't keep up with him. Della would if she were there. She had to SHOUT at him to get his attention and he had to whisper to get her to stop crying long enough to hear him. Wasted no time or words in leaving SF for good.

This was so sad, Della packing up and they were heading off in seperate directions. Not telling each other how they really feel. Enjoyed it though.

You rock DNPLC! I'm on pins and needles here waiting for the last 3 chapters! LOL! Looking forward to reading them! Thanks as always for your great stories!

You guys are THE best! I am trying to finish it up tonight-as ever I thought it was complete but saw that I needed a bridge chapter which I am writing now. As soon as that's done I can post the last 3 chapters! From now on I'll post all at once if I can-this is not fair! LOL! xox
