I loved the line "<br />An anonymous baby’s cry flying across a restaurant, smacking her in the heart." <br />Very vivid, and emotional.<br />This line I stumbled over - maybe cadence. "Greta picked up the phone automatically, glancing around the kitchen with a grimace." Possibly rearranging it would help - "Casting a quick, grimacing glance around the kitchen, Greta distractedly reached for the phone."Just a thought. :) But very touching none the less.le chefnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1854254105777617960.post-11516471075870957752011-05-06T15:04:17.145-04:002011-05-06T15:04:17.145-04:00What a well written story and you hit the feelings...What a well written story and you hit the feelings of jealously perfectly.
