Yes, a reward to be sure. <br /><br />I'm glad you enjoyed your stay.

I felt her inner struggle and her fear coming all at once, her fainting was perfectly timed and executed with words. <br /><br />that elusive smile was reward enough, wasn't it? <br />Kirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17894442143508446312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8156955729401188147.post-52638893767784182082013-09-21T11:25:30.011-07:002013-09-21T11:25:30.011-07:00Thanks!

I smiled at the ending where she comes out of her "faint" and everyone is looking at her.<br /><br />I also really liked this line: "Patience expected a retort as heated and dry as the weather." That's great!<br /><br />You did a good job with the interaction between Patience and Jeb. There's a teasing quality with Jeb I liked a lot. <br /><br />Also, the title was well done for the prompt.
