Hello Emily. You write Charlie so sweet, but very manly. He seems to be a man who is comfortable with himself, and he's able to make others be comfortable with him as well. There isn't any bravado getting in the way to see what he is all about. Great writing.

One whistled at her and the others laughed as she moved closer to Charlie, clutching his wrist.
I found this choice of words intresting. Firstly, I'm wondering if the drunken men are Bobby and his rowdy friends. And she just doesn't see him (at first) individually because she's not used to seeing him in that type character. And he didn't see her as his girlfriend, but as a very sexy girl, because he isn't used to seeing her with another man. I also wonder at her clutching his wrist and not his hand. But of course she wouldn't because she is dating another man, and she is loyal. But, when she grabbed his wrist she needed to fill an attatchment to someone who could keep the past from getting her.
Great post Emily. I'll be watching for your next.
