Susan, sometimes it's really useful to write a sidetrack scene, to get it straight in your head how the characters are reacting, even though the scene itself is not supposed to go into the finished book. Think of it as the 90% of the fiction berg you don't see....

That's a good point--especially since one of the challenges I'm facing in this scene is trying to find a way to hint that while James is putting on an impressive act of confidence, control, and seductiveness, what he's thinking is, "I've never been with a virgin before. I wish her eyes weren't that big and scared. I don't want to hurt her. How is one supposed to do this, anyway?"

Deb, will you be interested in an across-the-ocean not-well-enough-with-her-English reader (I'm from Israel)? Because if you do, I second Deena here.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Deena, Nilly, you bet. Profile addys?
