SUMMARY: A teenage college student, Ryan, helps out a 49-year-old
waitress, Dalia, after her car breaks down.  Later that night 
Dalia returns the favor.

COMMENTARY: This is a very arousing story.  The author takes 
things at a nice pace and does not rush them.  She shows rather 
tells the reader that is transpiring between Dalia and Ryan.  The
descriptions focus on how the characters are feeling as well as 
what they are experiencing.

This is a very well written story.  As I mentioned earlier, it 
flows nicely.  It is simple in its design, but rich in detail.  
The characters seem realistic, although Dalia's life is fleshed 
out in a little more detail and thus she seems more complete than
Ryan.  One of the wrinkles that impressed me is how Dalia changes
between the beginning and the end of the story.  When it starts 
she is disparaging her coworkers for giving into their libidinous
desires.  When it ends she has given into the same sort of 
desire.  The fact that she doesn't just change on a whim, but 
goes through a period of uncertainty makes this seem more 
realistic.

I really enjoyed this story.  I was aroused (Very Arousing) and 
impressed by the writing (Very Well Written).  I have always 
found the older female-younger male fantasy an attractive one and
so am not completely surprised that I enjoyed this story.  On the
other hand I think I also enjoyed this story because the author 
has done a wonderful job putting it together.  I have given it an
Excellent.
