For those of you that are wondering where the hell i've been, I can explain.
I had a nasty case of writer's block & had to delete/rewrite half of the chapter to get past it, and then I had to go in for my 3rd open-heart surgery on April 6th, turns out that a hospital room isn't exactly the best place to get inspired
Anyway, everything went well and I'm home now, so it's back to work for me! I'm almost finished with the next chapter & I'm also going back through my older chapters to fix a few things, so I apologize for the wait, and hope you enjoy the story as it continues
