Hello readers!

I wanted to post an Author's Note, deeply apologizing for the huge break I've taken from this story. Not a day goes by that I don't think about this story, all the great plans I have for it, and last, but certainly not least, you all, my readers, for sticking by me. I have been receiving anonymous reviews begging me to come back, and I want those anonymous readers to know that I received every single one, and thank you.

With my entrance into a Graduate Anatomy program this past Fall, there have been A LOT of strains on my time, which hinders time available for my favorite hobby, writing. Suffice to say, there hasn't been a lot of downtime between studying for me, but with my first semester coming to a close in two weeks, I will have time to update! I have been writing Chapter 18, and I have to say, I'm very proud of it. I know that I left a huge cliffhanger at the end of the last chapter (sorry!), but it leads right into the dramatic arc of the story. We will finally see where Jack ended up and what his return to the Island will mean for him. We'll also stop in on Kate, Locke, Juliet and Frank, not to mention our group on the beach, who have no idea what's been going on. Things are REALLY PICKING UP! I can't wait to share it all with you!

Lastly, everything about this story has been planned out since before I posted the first chapter over a year ago (wow!), so know that while I don't update as much as I should and want to (hopefully that will change), I've always, always anticipated finishing this story, and I will, even if you've lost interest as a reader (I don't blame you if you have). It's the best I've ever written and my greatest attempt to honor the show and the characters I love so much, so, I don't have any plans to disappoint you guys, least of all myself.

Look out for an update in the coming weeks!

Much love to you all,

Erica
