Introduction~ Cadie here reviewing for Building Emotion and Sensuality Lesson 3.
NOTE: This review is only the opinion of one author. I'm not a professional editor. This review is meant to help and NOT hurt.
Personal Impressions~ Milly and Marcus have moved forward in their relationship. The story is easy to read and flows with the request of the assignment.
Point of view~ You stayed within the point of view of Marcus. I think there could have been more emotion displayed between the characters. Does Marcus' heartbreak as they silently decide to split up for a time? Does he cry without her? Does he see her everywhere he goes and desires to find out what's going on? He goes to her apartment after 4 days giving her the time she needs. That's good.
Plot, Conflict and Structure~ In the story Milly tells her family about Marcus being in prison. While I would not want to keep secrets from my family, I wonder what was her motivation in telling them? Was she afraid of them finding out somehow? There are some secrets that are just better kept buried. this was a good twist in your story. If you decide to rewrite, I think they need to discuss this before they go on the weekend or figure out what Milly's reasoning is behind telling her family.
Then they just come together after 4 days and have sex without discussing what has happened. It's realistic but because this is a piece of a whole, it doesn't make sense. It's like it never happened.
Conclusions~ You are doing well with these stories and with your characters. I like how they've developed into people of their own. You followed the assignment well and stayed within the word count.
