Ohhhh, what an enticing scene you've set up to begin this next 'chapter' in the series. I love it and being married into a family of Japanese heritage I especially enjoyed the tea ceremony. This is going to be another 'don't bother me I'm reading a Toby book', I can just tell!

Wild Girl is a tough act to follow so I just went with a totally different vibe!

I have always enjoyed serialized stories. This one sounds like it will be one that I will be waiting for each Wednesday and Friday.

I like the story so far. I'm glad we'll get two chapters per week. Here's a correction: The gardenias "growing in large ceramic pots" or "in a large ceramic pot"
