This chapter is an update on a couple of things, but I promise it is worth reading! There are a few announcements at the end!
First, I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Pride Month! This month, let's continue to recognize and promote self-acceptance, celebrate love, and work towards furthering the progress that has been made by those who came before us.
In this story, William is obviously proudly gay on the outside, but beneath that is someone still learning how to love himself. He's learning how to believe that he deserves kindness, safety, and love without conditions.
His journey isn't neat or easy, but it's real. And for many, that kind of story is Pride. Overcoming personal or societal obstacles which allows us to discover joy in who we truly are. Never letting anyone diminish our confidence, because we have pride and joy in who we are.
I am thankful to also say that this story has been selected to be in Wattpad's Pride Month Campaign.

I am beyond grateful, and thank everyone who has taken the time to read and acknowledge this story. All of you silent readers, frequent commenters, and voters.
On a further note, since this month is so special, I've decided to publish a novella perfect for the summer time, and this month. The first chapter will be posted this month, and it is prewritten so that I can consistently update while catching up on my own reads at the same time!
It's about a soft-hearted florist who falls for a stoic Royal Guard who isn't supposed to feel anything. There is quiet unspoken longing, tension between duty and desire, and the slow, breathtaking unraveling of a guarded heart.
And of course, our lovely florist falls first.
But the Royal Guard?
He falls much harder.
I am so excited to share this with you all, and will ensure to update this story once it is posted! Once again, Happy Pride!
Q: What's one thing you are looking forward to doing this month? I'm excited to go to my first Pride Parade!! :D
