Another Monday, another chapter! See how Archie's family reacts to the hickey Vivi is so worried about in Chapter 29 "You had 27 years to speak to her."
          	
          	And speaking of hickeys, last week's poll shows that a majority of you find them tolerable as long as they're hidden.

Thanks to a brilliant suggestion by a reader, I have created a character guide. Each story has an updated family tree type guide, which changes a bit as the series goes on. I did this so there are no spoilers for readers who are just starting the series.
          
          You can find the character guide/family tree as an image on the WITH YOU series page on all the stories.

Happy Monday, my friends! I have Chapter 28 "You make a really cute drunk" up for you to read. It's the aftermath of partaking a little too heavily on that pink stuff at the bachelorette party.
          
          As always, there's a poll! Last week's results show that the majority of you think learning to pole dance could maybe be fun.

@ROBVDW I did it! Each story has it's own character guide now on the WITH YOU series page. Thanks for the idea!

I woke up this morning to see Starting With You hit 50k views! That’s pure insanity to me!
          
          It was my first story and certainly is riddled with cringe-worthy moments that I should probably fix with a big overhaul redraft. But I’m gonna sit in the feels today and just appreciate that so many of you have visited my fictional Minnesota town of Lake Hope and have fallen in love with the goofy Anderson family. 
          
          If you’d like to reminisce with me, feel free to drop a scene that sticks out in your mind in the comments. Any scene from any story about any of the characters. 
          
          I’ll start with my own in the comments.

I wish I could tell you my number 5 but it’s from the story I’m currently writing and it’s super hush hush right now. But it’s a whole lot sweet and a little bit spicy.

3. Vivi and Archie getting locked in the freezer and the confessions that followed.

"You do this thing. Right before I kiss you. It's this little gasp. Your mouth parts and your tongue darts out to wet your lips. And it's both the cutest and sexiest thing. I savor that moment. I might be slightly addicted to it. If I rushed the moment, I'd never experience that little gasp."
          
          Chapter 23 "There's a gasp" is now up.
          
          Last chapter's poll showed the majority of you thinking Archie's actions were sweet with a small percent saying you would have been slightly irritated and a teensy percent of you would have been angry. Go vote on this week's poll!

"You can't just kiss the crap out of me in the middle of a fight. That won't make you the winner. Hate to break this to you, but your kisses aren't that good."
          
          Chapter 22 "The kiss was the apology" is up now, and Vivi is maaaad. See what Archie did to piss her off.
          
          As always, vote in the poll at the end of the chapter. Last week the majority of you said you love how sweet and attentive Archie is while the minority said the slow burn is killing you. (evil laugh) I am sorry I'm not sorry about the slow burn, folks. I think you know by now it's my thing.
