2011. I first published this story in 2011. Ten years ago.

God, where does the time go?

So much has happened in that time. So much. So fucking much. And yet, I always planned on coming back to this story. Why didn't I? Who knows. Life finds a way... to get in the way. At every turn.

I'm officially abandoning this version of the fic, in lieu of a newly revised edition, which you can find on my profile, and which WILL be completed by the end of this year.

I'm officially fulfilling my promise that I've been holding onto for a decade. Now, go enjoy, my lovely Belleston shippers.

Mommy loves you,

Sophie
