I apologize from the bottom of my heart, but I have had an insane week personally and there's no way that the next chapter will be posted this week. It's an important one-Will's christening, Rick's book party for his first serious literature novel, a big step forward for Mark and Madison, and a moment I've been waiting to write for Kate and Rick-and it has to be just right.

I appreciate all of you so much, and your passion and enthusiasm for this story mean everything to me. I hate that life got so much in the way this week that I couldn't pull off my usual chapter, but I promise I will make it up to all of you next week. Thank you for all of your support and enthusiasm. It feeds my writer's soul.
