Author's Note: Hi Everyone! I know it has been a while since I have last updated and I am completely aware of how annoying it is for me to just stop writing all of a sudden. But rest assure, I have NOT given up on this story and I will update very very soon. I realize that my absence has irked and irritated most, if not all, of my readers/followers and I truly apologize. I feel like I should explain my situation and the reasons behind my absence so here we go...

I have been extremely busy since August with a full-time internship on top of a part-time job on top of being a full-time student at my university. To add to the stress, this past semester was my final semester as an undergrad and I am proud to announce that I have officially graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Chemistry! Yay! Even better, the lab that I interned at offered me a position to continuing working with them as a full-time employee, which I gratefully accepted! Double yay! So, in conclusion (I feel like I have been rambling on for a while), I am now busy working throughout the week HOWEVER since I am no longer going to school I have no more homework/studying which means that my weekends have cleared up beautifully...which means more writing for me and, more importantly, more updates for all of you! Triple yay!

So let's get down to business...I have some of the next chapter written up already but it's turning into a really lengthy chapter so here are some options:

-Option (1) I hold off on the next chapter and write up a summary chapter reviewing what has occurred in WH3 and make that my next update.

-Option (2) I continuing working on the next chapter and try to get that updated sooner than later but I will leave it up to you all to refresh the previous chapters on your own.

-Option (3) I write up a quick summary (maybe just a bullet point list of main points) and also add on a short excerpt of the next chapter.

I am still assuming that most of my readers would prefer longer chapters with longer update waiting periods instead of short chapters/short update waiting periods as I had previously taking a poll of your preferences and the longer chapters seemed to be the favorite. If this has changed, please let me know and I will have no problem accommodating the majority preference.

I would like to express a final thank you to everyone who has not given up on me and my story. I realize that it is only fair of me to expect that a large majority of my readers/followers may have lost interest in this trilogy of stories and I take full responsibility for that. I understand that you may have moved on to other things and I do not think it would be fair of me to expect everyone to jump back on the Warm Hugs Series bandwagon just because I have emerged from my hiatus. But for those who have encouraged me and waited patiently for some sort of activity from this account/story, I have no worthy words to express my gratitude for your kindness other than thank you...thank you from the bottom of my heart.

In conclusion (now I have REALLY been rambling for a while) please let me know about which option you would like to go with and whether or not the longer chapters/longer updating waiting period still is preferred. You can leave your opinions in the review section of WH3 or you can feel free to private message me. Thank you all for everything you have done for me and this series and I hope all is well on your side of the screen.

Best,
