A/N: Hello everyone!
I hope you all had a lovely couple of weeks! <3 First things first, thank you so much for the kindness and encouragement on the last chapter!! <3 <3 Thank you so much for reading and/or commenting or leaving kudos.
[Keeping my mouth shut about the end of Carpe Retractum was quite difficult. :) ]
Next: For the foreseeable future, I may need to switch to biweekly/once every two week updates. I am so, so sorry, but I've had some things crop up in my personal life during the last week that will likely require me to take more time with these chapters.
I'm working to resolve these issues, but until I find a solution, it's probable that I will need that extra time. I'm hoping this may not be an problem for long, but I've no way of knowing how long it will take me to find a solution, as there are numerous factors outside of my control. This is sort of difficult for me to write, as I really really want to keep LUMOS on a once-a-week schedule until its completion.
This coming week, I'm going to play it by ear and try to keep my regular posting schedule while handling this other stuff. There will be an update at the end of this author's note by Sunday night. I'm very sorry to leave it up in the air like that, and I'll do my best to keep you all informed.
As always: I do not own the rights to this story world or to these characters.

Alright! Grab your snack (this week, I recommend oranges or any fruit that's potentially coming back into season near you--maybe let me know in the comments? I'm quite excited about the return of good produce after a long winter), your drink (I had coffee with cashew milk, and it was excellent), and your most favorite blanket.
Let's dive in. <3

"It never seemed like a good time." He barely got the words out, and his shoulders were rising and falling rapidly as he stepped closer. "I didn't mean for it to become something I kept from you, but there was—there was always something. Work. Curses. Attacks. The Remembrance Ball." He slowly closed his eyes then opened them again. "Last time, you sort of—sort of figured most of it out yourself, and—"
