You did a nice job with this story, @jjmusa2004. Clearly, you took the "show, don't tell" skill to heart! You've provided the details via actions and full descriptions, vs. summarizing the story line for the reader. The one thing that was a bit confusing was in the beginning. It seems she does not know John. But then the reader discerns that she does know him.

We mention this because sometimes a bit of "telling" is actually helpful to the reader. Perhaps a line such as the following would help: "It never occurred to her it could be her John until she opened the invitation."

Thank you for sharing your story in The Ink Well, and for reading and commenting on the work of other community members.
