~ bragged to people the greenhouse was my project...(missing word is in bold)

~While in the barn, Leila and George are talking. The had just left Tom and gone to the greenhouse and yet while standing and looking at the film, George asks Leila a question and she responds she doesn't know where Tom is. This is believable because she never knows if Tom is watching or when and where he sneaks off to, but she should further accent this by waving her hand from her hip scanning the area as she says, "we left him....(wherever he was), but he could be anywhere" this shows that yes, Tom is probably still on the property, but it is his guess as to where. (Just a thought)

~ACTION WORDS

~towards~ represents directional movement or action of time. In speech many people like to take the action words and give them an added syllable "s" to help propel them forward. Already being a word of action, this effort is unnecessary and leads to creating a slang term. This terminology then transfers into our writing. Now, if the piece of writing already contains slang terminology throughout the piece, then this would be acceptable, if not, then I would alter the word to the proper form, as I suggest with this instance. This also happens with forward, afterward, inward, downward, backward, outward, and beside, to name a few. The exception to this is that the British do add the "s" and in so doing are correct for their proper language. Many do use this now today in everyday writing and it is becoming a normal thing, I just wanted to point that out though for something to consider.

This is another well written chapter. At the end of this one, I was sure that LEILA our main character was going to meet her demise. I was fearful, I was hooked and I was waiting for a miracle. I rarely read things more than once, let alone 2 to 3 times, so I am spellbound by all of this.
