Let me just start by saying that when I originally posted this story, I by all means intended on finishing it.

With that being said, I am fully aware of the length of absence which has been taken from this writing, and I can honestly say that up until a few hours ago I had absolutely no intention of ever returning to it. Somewhere in my home resides an old, battered laptop which holds the remaining chapters of what I originally intended on publishing, imperfections and all, and I am only partially saddened to say that I currently have no means of obtaining these files once again.

But never fear, Brooklyn is here.

While I can not say I am completely proud of the first eight chapters I posted here over a year ago, that does not mean I have given up on them entirely. I may not remember my original intentions, or how Velvet and Spot were meant to be at the end of this work, but I have a fairly good idea and I am not afraid to give it one more whirl.

I will be revising the previously posted chapters and re-posting them with the same titles followed by [edit]. After that, well, I'll hopefully be able to post something sparkling and new.

I apologize for my leave of absence and for the errors that are evident in my currently posted text. I hope to correct them and finally finish what I've started here.
