- Author's Note -

This is just an author's note in reference to a question from gannonsgrl: Ever since chapter 3 ("The Funeral"), the story has been a flashback to what happened after Dan's funeral. In chapters 1-3, I chose not to start the story off where it actually started because 1) I like stories where the end is the beginning and 2) It's how it just tends to play out in my head. So, sorry if the way I have the story set out confused you, but I really can't write any other way with this one. Don't worry though, after the next few chapters I'll be back to the present time (a.k.a. when the story actually started) and hopefully you all won't be so confused on the time adjustments!
