NOTE: I'm catching up again! Somehow this issue got stuffed in my magazine rack and I didn't notice it until now.
Tagline: It took a lonely week to convince Darla and Gary that they belonged together...
In A Nutshell: When Gary moves on to another job, Darla is bereft, but during the first week without him, they manage to keep in touch. On Friday, he shows up and asks her out.
Observations: This story was cute. Gary was an adorable character even if he wasn't actually there, interacting with the heroine. Their notes and emails were endearing and funny. When it got to the part where Gary put his heart on the line with his email...
...Things are good here, but, okay, I'll say it: I miss you. Terribly...
I just melted. And then when he called her on the phone, he stepped up to the plate again when Darla said she'd received that email...
There was silence for a moment, [sic] "What'd you think of it?" Gary asked.
I melted again. That Gary might have been chicken for the two years previous that he'd worked with Darla, but he came through at the end. :) Again, it's really interesting to me that the character that grew the most during the course of the story wasn't even "on stage" half the time.
