To my incredible readers,

Hi. It's been about five years since I wrote these fan fictions. I came across them this morning and spent the day laughing and crying, reading the stories that came from my young teenage mind. I'm nineteen now and in college. I was reminded of my love for "Scandal" and the support that all of you readers gave to me at that time. It did, and still does, mean the world.

I am sorry for not updating since - well, 2015. I know I left many people hanging and I'm not proud of that. But when you're fifteen, life just happens. It can be the craziest time in a person's life. But I never forgot the outpouring of love and kindness I got from you guys. It felt amazing to have a community to share my stories with. I remember lighting up every time I got a new review.

I'd be surprised if I get any readers reading this now in 2020. But if I get even just one, it will have been worth it. I look back on this time of my life with such pride and gratitude, all because of you guys. So all this is to say thank you. I hope you and your families are safe during these times.

I don't know why I did not share my real name back in 2015, but I will now. It's Sahar. :) and you guys can add me on Twitter at saharxxi or on Instagram at . I want to be able to connect and talk with you guys in a way that I was too afraid to back then. So much has changed. But my love for writing and Scandal has not.

If anyone wants to continue reading this story, I will continue to write it. I owe you guys everything. Just let me know if a) you would like to continue writing it and b) if yes, would you like a time jump or just continue where I left off?

Again, thank you. Thank you so very much. For everything.
