Hi everyone, unfortunately it looks like I'm not going to be able to get the chapter up tonight, but I will definitely have it up by Tuesday or Wednesday. Thank you for your patience with me and for reading! I want to get back to posting on a consistent day, which Sunday does still work the best for in theory, but I've had a few things that popped up that have made that more difficult in reality. I know some of you have suggested posting every other week, and while I appreciate your willingness to wait I do still want to keep my commitment of posting once a week as best I can. I think it helps to keep the story flowing and I like getting you all a chapter with at least that frequency. I had the rhythm of it for a couple years but some new kinks have come up in the last year or so that I keep thinking I've figured out but ultimately don't have completely back on track. So thank you again for your patience with me and for reading and I hope you enjoy where the story goes next because we are about to the point where things start coming together more in this book!
