See what I mean? In my post below auto correct took over and changed the word. Something we all have to watch. I do love your stories. Please don't take this this as criticism.
I'm not trying to be picky,but this has bothered me in the last story and now this one. You are using the word "sense" instead of "since". They sound the same but have two completely different meanings. I just think things such as that take away from your writing, and the story is too good hot that to happen. That's the downside to spell check,if the word is a real word,you won't be corrected.
