SUMMARY: Warren drops in on Abby, one Sunday.

COMMENTARY: Don't read too much into the title of this 
story.  It doesn't have anything to do with advice 
columnists.  It is, however, an enjoyable read.  The sex is 
passionate.  There isn't a whole lot to the plot, but part 
of the fun in reading it is watching how Warren and Abby 
interact.  In other words it doesn't really matter that the 
story is thin in the plot department, in my opinion, of 
course.

One thing that does strike me about this story: there are 
places where the action seems to jump forward in time 
without any visual or textual reference to indicate what's 
happening.  This threw me off a bit.  It also seemed as 
though there were places where details were included for no 
particular reason.  By themselves, these details did not 
help to make the situation any more real for me.  I took 
them as precursors, although nothing really followed them, 
so they weren't precursors.  This left me wondering why 
include these details in the first place.  They bumped me 
off track a bit; they distrubed the flow for me.

Most of you should enjoy this story, although it is a bit 
subdued.  If you prefer something a bit more intense or 
kinky then you may want to pass on this one.
