Whew.

Well, there we have it, folks. The next chapter his been sent off to my lovely beta, CassandraLowery. It should be out sometime tomorrow if all things knit together perfectly. (Fingers crossed.)

        I'm a little worried about how this chapter will be received, to be perfectly honest. I'm not sure if the fans will be offended or horrified. It's a weird feeling. But, above all, (I think) I like this chapter. It's what I always thought would be the turning point in my little fic. It's what I always imagined when I wrote out the preface of the story. It's just been a crazy ride trying to piece it all together. :)

        So, there. The fans can call off the dogs now, -- all things are back to normal. Again, I'm super thankful to the fans for being so patient with me. It means everything. :D

      

        Be safe,

        M.
