Hi everyone!

I'm not even sure where to begin.

First of all, I'm extremely sorry. I feel like I've betrayed so many of you as a writer and as a friend. In my zeal for this story, I made promises even I wasnt sure I could keep and have left you guys hanging out here on the ledge waiting for an update with none in sight. I am sorry. After simply not being able to update for a while, my old computer broke (meaning I lost 5 chpts worth of material) I forgot my password, forgot my login info, etc and frankly was too exhausted with the whole thing to even think of writing any more chpts. I havent had a moment to write ever since.

After receiving so many Pms asking about updates and if my health was in order, however, I made it my duty to find a way to login and respond. Just to clarify IM IN GOOD HEALTH! Thank you for the concern though! It made me feel as loved as Shiro ^_^

I'm going to let you guys in on a very personal aspect of my life. The main reason I've been MIA is that I've been constrained by my academics. I'm a pre-medical student! And anyone who knows an ounce about that knows that 99.98% of your time when studying medicine is dedicated to studying, studying and more studying. I love my stories but I also love my goals of one day becoming a physician and right now that comes first.

That being said, I'm putting the story on indefinite hiatus. I dont know when this year I'll have the time to update, so I'm not going to promise. However, please do set up alerts if you feel so inclined. Its highly possible. Its so frustrating to know how the story ends, how the sequel begins and how the 3rd segment of the story will connect even more with my other story A Penny for Your Thoughts (fyi, all of you who wanted to know where Nnoitora is. Theyre all part of the same story universe so look out for that!).

Also, some have asked if they can continue my story for me. I briefly considered it but, as selfish as this may be, I dont want that. This story is like my first love, my first child and I'll be the first to admit while flattered and soooo intruiged as to where another mind might take the tale, I dont actually think I'd enjoy seeing it ripped away from me *pout* Then again, I cant actually stop you from writing it...just please if you do, dont tell me _ it'll break my little heart.

I'm super sorry and I adore all of you sooo soo much. Writing this story and interacting with the community and making friendships got me through a really rough time in my life. None of you will ever understand how much that meant to me.

PLEASE DONT HATE ME! Ciao lovelies 333333
