It would make for much more enjoyable reading with correct spelling and grammar.
This has the the subject matter to be the making of a good story but would be much easier and pleasurable to read with correct spelling and grammar, it may be beneficial to have someone edit it for you .
Needs proofreading. You have "slipping of" instead of "slipping off" which is a mistake a spellchecker won't catch.
The story looks like it has promise. I understand the pressure to keep the story moving. However, feel free to linger in certain sections, certain moments of the story. This chapter was quick conversation at the courthouse and then - boom - a couple of texts to represent a major point in the story and then - boom - it's the middle of the night and they've gone to bed already.
The courthouse section is good because it shows that they really aren't making time for each other, just a few sentences. You captured that awkwardness well.
But how did Carter get a call from a potential investor during an in-progress board meeting? Especially one where the board was shocked? They would be shocked because she hadn't announced her engagement beforehand.
I like the story, although could have been better if a bit longer.
Would be nice to have a third chapter where Miri finally fell in love.
Original, engaging, entertaining etc. Would love to see the rest of it. Could use a little editing but that did not affect my enjoyment at all.
