So I hate when I love a story and then the author doesn't update. And then months later you get really excited because you see that the author has updated. So you eagerly go to the story, get the next chapter..and then there you see it. The not so nice author, who has already been rude enough to make you wait thus far, has only posted an author's note to tell you that she will be posting soon and not to worry. If you are truly lucky, months later, she actually does post. But that is only if you are truly lucky.

So the moral of that little story was an attempt to pacify you with a little bit of humor. I am so sorry to have been absent this long. I have had a very long and complicated year and did not have the energy or creativity to write. But don't despair. I have almost completed the next chapter. I hope to have it out by Monday. I cannot promise when the next chapter will be, but I promise you won't have to wait eight months for it. Thanks for the ongoing interest, and thank you for reading.
