AUTHOR'S NOTE:

I know… I know… this is the longest the wait has been. I can explain, hear me out.

First of all, it's time for Otakon once again and I'm prepping for it… even though I'm going to miss about two fifths of it because my parents are taking me along to their out of state high school reunion. I'll obviously stay with my grandmother as usual.

Secondly, towards the end of Spring I received some disquieting news. My girlfriend told me that her father got a promotion. Good news, right? Unfortunately, the new job is out of state… on the opposite coast, in fact! My girlfriend and I will sadly part ways come September. But we look on the bright side. She's moving to Washington state and her best friend moved to California last year. So as her boyfriend of about six years; I'm genuinely happy she finally can spend more time with her life-long best friend. Needless to say, my girlfriend and I are spending as much time as possible together. In fact, our next date is going to see Deathly Hallows part 2. And even if the long-distance relationship doesn't work out, we agreed we'll still email and be pen pals and stuff. We've talked about it and if it does turn out that our boy/girl relationship goes kaput, while still being friends, after awhile; we could try to start seeing other people… after seeing if the long-distance thing works or not.

So you see… we're making the best out of a bad situation.

I am working on the next chapter when I get the chance. Problem is… said chances are few and far between. To show my sincere apology, I'll upload the next two to three chapters together. Ciao!
