A/N: Hello everyone. I'm so sorry to inform that this is not an actual chapter.

I come to realize how long it's been since I uploaded the last chapter and I feel really guilty. I want to say that although it's been slow going, I do not have any plans to abandon this story.

I also want to say that I really have no plans for this story after the chapter about the dance (unless things change by the time I get the actual chapter written). So, if anyone has anything they'd like to see incorporated into the story I would love to hear any and all ideas/suggestions. Otherwise, this story will have two more chapter after this (the dance and some form of an epilogue) and that will be the end of it.

For those of you still with me, I thank you profoundly for sticking around through the ups and downs of this story.
