Tagline: Carol wasn't looking for love, but then she met Paul...Observations: What a great story this was. I loved the setting of a winery, a setting I don't remember seeing before. I loved the little mini-love story.
This is the perfect example of a "meet-cute" story in which you only show the couple meeting. There's usually so
me set up then they actually meet. Make sure you show a real connection between the pair. If you look at this particular story, we get just enough to convince us that Carol and Paul will enjoy themselves at that Independence Day party.
There's also a small dark moment when the interview is over and Carol thinks she might never see Paul again, but of course, she's wrong. After that, we wrap up with the two people arranging to have a first date. The end. :)

On a side note, my father passed away on Tuesday. He left peacefully in his sleep, which was a blessing. He's been bedridden and unable to effectively communicate for over two years as a result of a stroke. Thanks for understanding why the blog isn't current.

Oh, Kate - as you can see, I am just catching up with a month's worth of reading and checking out your blog. So sorry to hear about your dad. It's never easy. My deepest condolences to you and your family.
I did enjoy this story - the thing that resonated with me was the heroine finding the story within the story. I used to write for alumni magazines at several schools, and that was always a thrill to dig deep enough and get to know the subject to find the deeper story. Which is what brought these two characters together. He was flattered that she cared enough about his family's business to dig a bit deeper, and it gave them a way to get to know each other better. A lot packed into this story.
Just seeing this and wanted to express condolences to you on the loss of your father, Kate. May he have everlasting peace, and may he live in your memories until you see each other again.
