I reached for her hand and quietly asked, "Will you marry me?"

"Yes...oh god yes" she whispered as tears of joy ran down her face.

Mary's voice boomed over the two of us. "I guess this bozo isn't as dumb as he looks."

The first story on Lit that I loved, I was still anonymous then. It's been a long time but it is still at the top of my all time favourites.

After one page, I know this story, like the girl. is a winner.

862 comments, must be a record.

Very well done, too bad the author doesn't post here any longer...or he/she has a new name.

Very well done.

Read this story again and still a very good read. An escape from the real world for a short time.

I love this story so much I read it several times a year. Romance should be one of the tags, along with it being in the roamnce category. If you review the story list, better than 90% of the stories are labeled as HOT. The sad thing, this person hasn't added new content in years.

Collectively, our loss

I agree with myself from eight months ago. Well conceived and developed. Surely worth Five solid stars.

An absolute delight of a story....ticks every box for a great read....like a dish where every ingredient is perfectly balanced...was just hoping the story to never end, perhaps some longer stories in future if the author deems fit please

Interesting. I read this story perhaps a year ago and put it on my favourites list.

I needed a good story to read for a bit of a pick-up on a dark and rainy day and was surprised. !) the story was shorter than I remembered and 2) I did not remember the sexual activity.

The point I am making is that a really great story is not about sex but about people who are special and do special things. For the Literotica crowd (with the possible exception of the non-erotic people) the sex is the main thing,

One author brilliantly pointed out the change in Literotica over the years as having ore and more great stories often with important lessons about living fulfilling lives. This is an amazingly popular story and makes that author's points.

AUTHORS: get a clear non-erotic plot, develop real life characters and THEN and ONLY THEN deal with the erotic. Several authors are dog that and their ratings usually are 4.5 plus. I find such worthwhile stories predominantly in Romance and mon-erotic, but also in LW and interracial. Sadly wen searching for a story I usually find only one for every 2-3 pages of search (50 each).

No need to say anything, except "Amen!" to what everyone else has said (didn't see one negative comment, even the critiques).

This is one of the stories I return to when I need a mental tune-up. It’s part of a collection I cherish. There was a time when I forgot how to feel anything. Life was flat, for me. Stories like this pull me out of that headspace and into something more positive. - I used to come here for just the erotica, but now I seek out the stories where people pull each other up and come together in love.

Hmm. First off, excellent story! I happened on it, never having noticed anything before by Cat5.

.

Then I noticed that the last two stories in the list are almost 15 years old. I hope I'll be looking at more of what's there, but I have to wonder whether he or she is even seeing any of our comments. I hope so. At least, the most recent comments are all pretty favorable; 'fraid I'm not going to dig through almost 850 comments.

.

One nit to pick, though. Taking on an assistant at that level of work without talking to management and HR is a BIG mistake, one which would get him fired. He's making them liable! The government would be down on them really fast. Minimum wage is only the first issue. Undocumented worker being, in effect, paid under the table. All the customers who are insisting that Holly be the one they talk to--they're talking to other people, and it will get around. (I can't really believe the management hasn't already heard, in fact.)

.

Despite that huge hole in the story, I really, REALLY like it. Cat5, if you are reading comments, PLEASE go back to writing and posting.

.

(Stepping down off soapbox now.)

Excellent story! I'll be following your other stories from now on.

Thank you
