Promises [13+] Genre Times Four - Prompt one: "I live in two places: here and with you." |
Review brought to you by: "Game of Thrones" by Gaby PLOT - Shawn and Katie find each other in college and are inseparable. Shawn knows right away that Katie is his perfect match, but doesn't crowd or rush her. They marry, have children, grandchild and then the love of her life is taken from her. SETTING - You set a perfect picture of Shawn proposing after their dinner, during a walk under the stars. It was easy to see all of this as it played out from her memories. CHARACTERS - Shawn, the now departed husband who was Katie's everything for forty-five years. Katie who is still here, remembering their history with fondness, waiting for her time to be with him again in the hereafter. GRAMMAR/SPELLING/DIALOGUE - No errors. The brief dialog of Shawn's proposal was sweet. THOUGHTS - What a touching story of a wonderful love between this couple. It's never easy when your life partner passes away, but all of the memories of this pair were beautiful. His recent loss lingers for her, and she cannot bring herself to put his things away. They shared life, and love, children and grandchildren. I loved that Katie realized they were never poor because having that kind of love/relationship is priceless. Nicely done. Write on!
