Very interesting story, friend. The conflict between Dev and Teena is very exciting. I love the way you slowly turned it into respect and understanding. You gave a big boldness to Teena's character by entering the bar without invitation. However, some parts moved a bit too quickly; you could have told more detail about their changing feelings. Still, the ending is very sweet. All the best for the contest.
Comparto tu apreciación. En principio, la historia tenía cerca de 1.300 palabras. La limpié y aún así casi llegué al límite de las 800. La estrategia es darle más trabajo imaginativo al lector, jeje.
Mil gracias por tu comentario. Un abrazo.
Indeed, that is the issue; we must follow the regulations. A hearty hug in return.
