A/N: Hey guys!

Review Time:

To splinterson77: Thanks for the review! I'm super glad you're excited for the Dess novella-now I have to come up with a good writing schedule for it! :)

To adorableness: Of course! There's going to be a few Dess one-shots coming soon, and my Dess novella Just Because is going to posted as well.

To Lelebird 7: I'll keep that in mind if I have to use Chinese again. Thanks for the kind words.

To Trinity Rebel: Reviews are actually a huge part of keeping me motivated! They never get on my nerves. :) I've answered your questions at the bottom of this chapter (it's a bit long.) Thanks for reviewing!

Today's chapter is just a snippet because I had a lot of extras here, but the rest will be up tomorrow.

I've been stuffing my face for the past half an hour, a collection of toast and jam and scrambled eggs scattered in heaps around me. There's also some Chinese dim sum for us to eat, and I make sure to get plenty of that too.

Breakfast in Hong Kong is amazing, and I'm going to enjoy it while I can.

"Hey Cass," Megan walks over to the booth where I'm sitting, and glances at my pile of food, then back at me. "Someone looks like they haven't eaten in five years," she says, smiling, "You look like you could eat a horse."

"I'm hungry," I say, fake frowning at my friend. "You should know that, as one of my supposed best friends."

Megan laughs. "I think we have more in common than you think," she says mysteriously, "I mean, we obviously are interested in guys from the same family..."

Megan smirks as she waits for me to respond. "What, you and Tristan still are dating, aren't you?"

"Yeah," I scoff. "Of course. Why wouldn't we? We've been managing a long distance relationship for such a long time, I mean nothing's wrong..."

"Whoa, tiger. No need to get so defensive. I was just joking," Megan says as she casts a worried glance at me.

"Are things okay?" Her voice grows quiet.

"Yeah..." My voice trails off. I can see her expression change as she realizes that I'm lying.

"Have you guys talked recently?"

"It's been a few weeks." I train my eyes on the ground, trying to fight back hot tears prickling behind my eyes.

To be continued...

Hope you guys enjoyed that snippet! The next chapter is going up tomorrow, then on Friday. If you missed it, my one-shot collection, Candy Hearts, went up on Sunday. Check that out if you like fluffy one-shots!

Answering some questions :)

1. What inspired you to write?

I've always really liked writing, but I never had the courage to post my work online until just over a year ago. I remember posting my first chapter on fanfiction and feeling an overwhelming sense of happiness every time someone looked at my story or reviewed. I was inspired to write fanfictions for this community by Heather's great books. In terms of my own personal writing, I am inspired by interesting people that I see or meet, music that I hear, or places that I have been. I draw inspiration often from my own life or close family and friend's lives. Sometimes, my characters shape themselves, and that really helps me develop an exciting story. For The 7th Mother Daughter Book Club, Hong Kong is a place that is very close to me, so writing about it was very cool.

2. How many stories have you written for?

I currently only write for the Mother Daughter Book Club community. Personally, this series was one I really connected with and didn't have an enormous fanbase with hundreds of thousands of stories, so I thought it would be a great place to write to a smaller audience while still having people read my work. I might consider writing for other communities, but it would probably only be one-shots.

3. Did you ever think of pursuing a career in writing? If not, would you want to?

When I was younger, I really wanted to be a writer (and a professional hockey player, for that matter), but currently, I probably wouldn't want to pursue a full time career in writing. I'd love to publish a book or continue writing here on the side because I think that writing is extremely valuable and fun (that's why I do it :), but it takes a lot of dedication to be a writer and I really admire what they do. I'm a firm believer in work hard play hard-that has served me well in school, which is why I'm perfectly happy writing English essays if it means I get to have fun and be creative here.

Thanks to Trinity Rebel for the questions! See you all tomorrow!
