If you're happy with the ending, that's all that matters!

Very well crafted indeed and perfectly balanced. You closed it rather than ended it and that was brilliantly executed. Thank you.

Really, really good story! Thank-you for this!

A snapshot of the moment of inception. Full of hope and promise. Made me smile. Thank you much.

love it, dealt with issues, with a degree of promise to come. i hope someone writes a continuation of this, dosnt have to be long just a romantic love story with a happy ending. Well done Just_Words, thank you

Thank you. I was certain I'd get a steady stream of complaints for such a simple little story, and I suspect I will still get plenty, but I did find myself attracted to that moment when two wounded people find in one another a sympathetic soul and a reason to smile.

What Highpike said,

You closed it without ending. I like that, and I really enjoyed the story.

No surprise as I enjoy your stories.

New beginnings are hard, because new things are hard. Well done.

Thanks for sharing.

Glad to see others agree the ending is fine. It isn’t a biography, it is two people coming to closure and readying themselves for what’s next.

A very nice meeting.

I hope that we can read a site to this scene of life.

Just so well written. It's not just words; its art. 5*

Very nice!

Very nice!

Simple, straight forward but with a good feel for the insecurities associated with divorce. I hope they take it slow, communicate continuously and live happily ever after.

Great Little story. Life is not over when the marriage ends, one lives on. Love can live again. 5 stars to writer.

Loved it, thanks! Well deserving of 5 BIG FAT ASS FLAMING HUGE FUCKING NOVA STARS! That's as good as it gets my friend!

I enjoyed the story a lot, and your open-ended ending was perfect. 5 stars.

Hi, nice to meet you. I think I like you. This could go someplace. It's definitely helped me heal.

Thanks for a well written story of hope.

When you stopped writing the story ended. After all, they're just words, right? They're just all the right words.

*****Always some good reading when one sees your name. Very entertaining read my friend. Thanks for sharing.

Sweet.

Great aperitif, looking for forward to the next course without whine

Just what, A_Bierce and a couple of others said. Good story, Thank you for writing!

Oh if only everyone had such luck and such good friends.

Very enjoyable.

5 stars - for a decent story that was uplifting and cheery - quite the opposite of the usual drivel in this genre.

Although, you did forget the TAGS.

Just words; just fine. Another well written story. Thank you.

It was just long enough to make the reader feel good. Thanks!

The perfect moment in time for these two. From starting as two damaged, but healing, souls to two healing, but less damaged, souls, this story is complete. The hope, the positive vibes at the end, the feeling that they’re going to be together makes it for me. Thank you, thank you.

Really loved your story, if only more people were that lucky.

Very nice slice-of-life! Thanks!

Thanks JW, its been a lot of years but some memories fade slowly.

It really does need an ending, but you did warn me - 5*

Conversation between two 'less than' confident guys, damaged and injured.

But the sun is peeking behind the clouds.

The spring is near and the birds would soon start chirping.

Works for me, very enjoyable.

It ended just right! Great little story that felt believable and authentic. We can imagine the future on our own and it seems a happy place.

Jim and Carol were just too compatible to be real, but it was a very pleasant ride for a couple of pages. After the gloom that pervades all the LW stories this is certainly a refreshing genre that I haven't sampled before. I noticed that many of the stories on the opening listing have very high ratings leading me to believe that there are many other readers who might like this approach to erotic literature (without the erotica). 4*

A pleasant, honest reprieve from so many heavy handed fantasies. It's decent - meaning intelligible, possible. A perfectly solid base for any direction the author chooses to travel.

Enjoyable. This could be a couple that go somewhere in a future relationship. 4 stars

Wouldn't have thought there was much more to say really, a complete and very good tale told it all. Thank you JW

I liked this one a lot

Less is more. We're left wondering about them.

That's the hallmark of good storytelling.

Simply one of the most enjoyable quick reads posted around here.

Frankly, ** I ** stared falling for the lady by the end of the story. She really sounded like a “keeper”.

5 *****

A very enjoyable read, and a story I'll want to come back to and reread. Full of hope for the future. Five very well-deserved stars for one of my favorite authors on Literotica.

I like that there was no end. Also that it open ended. It lets you think of where it might go.

Thanks for a great short story.

Excellent writing. I ddon't think you hav to continue, we can just use our imaginations. /

Regardless of the future, both left the date stronger.

Loved this one, ending or no ending.

Excellent beginning for both of them. I think that's the worst part of betrayal how long it takes the victims to recover and become fully functioning again. Unfortunately some never do. In this story I feel hopeful for both of them that they will get there. Maybe together who knows. A follow up would be good. I hope to read it one day. BardnotBard
