Hello...Long time, no see. I know it's been a while since I have updated Sunflower and I am extremely disappointed in myself. 
          	
          	Casey holds a special place in my heart and I will forever continue to push myself to write her story. I have just been having trouble even diving into OBX after season 4. I won't say why, just incase some have not seen it, but for those who have, you know why. 
          	
          	And, not wanting to speculate or add to anything, what has been happening outside of the show is really overwhelming.  It feels different and not in a good way. 
          	
          	I promise I will continue to write her story. Whatever it takes, I will keep her story alive. It will just take a little to get back into it so please have faith in me. Please don't abandon Casey. Please keep reading and commenting.

Well hello there. 
          
          First things first. Thank you so much for the continuous support. 7,000 reads is insane to me. There are no words to express how thankful I am for everything. 
          
          Next, I am so sorry for not posting as much. As the post in June says, I've had some health things come up, but all good now. And with Season 4 out, I have more motivation now than I have had in so long. 
          
          Which leads me to my next thing, I am almost 100% positive I will have the next chapter up this week! 
          
          Even when I first wrote Sunflower, before editing it to what it is now, I was always struggling with these middle chapters. These in between chapters, where nothing happens, are definitely harder to write for me than the ones where there are fights or spicy moments lol.
          
          But before I trail off haha there will be a new chapter this week! and thank you so much for your patience!

Hello! 
          
          First off I want to say thank you for 4,000 reads. That's insane!!! 
          
          Second, I want to apologize for not being active at all! I've had some health things come up but no worries. It is nothing serious, it just took a toll on my mental health. Stress, anxiety, fear, all of the above. I am perfectly fine and things are going good now. 
          
          But that meant, unfortunately, Sunflower took the hit and I have not been working on it at all. I have not forgot about it at all and I will finish it I promise! if its the last thing I do, Casey's story will be told. 
          
          Third, this week I am beginning again with the hopes of posting on Saturday but I don't want to make promises just in case. With everything going on, it is little difficult to find the motivation at times.
          
          But I will promise I am not giving up on Casey. Not now, not ever. 
          
          I have so much love for this story and all of the support!

heyyyyyy,
          Welp, you can probably guess what this is....the next chapter will be delayed another week. I am soooo sorry. I am trying to balance writing, editing, work, and life just being an absolute bitch right now. I really tried to get it done this week, but now that it is Friday, if I get it done, it will not be good. (rushed/missing details/ stupid mistakes) I am a perfectionist, which is why this sucks, but I promise I will get it out next week! 
          
          I know I left it on a slight cliff hanger with Casey learning about Ward 'adopting' them, and the anticipated conversation with John B about her and Rafe being at Tannyhill, but I promise I will make it worth it and put my heart and soul into this next chapter. 
          
          Again I am sooooooo sorry. <3

Hello. 
          
          I am so sorry this chapter is taking so long to get out. Do not worry, I am still working on it, but for some F**ken reason this chapter is irritating me beyond comprehension. Every time I get a paragraph or two into it, it's like I hit a wall. 
          
          So, I'm hoping to have it up in a few days. If not by this weekend.
          
          I just want to be done with this chapter lol

Hello! I just want to say sorry for not being so active. With the holidays, I didn't have much time to write, and right after, I got hit with a pretty bad cold/sinus infection. I don't even know what it was, but I was sick for the last two weeks, with no energy to do anything. I have been writing here and there, but I have finally gotten over it. 
          
          SOOOOOOOOOO, that means there WILL be a new chapter this week. As a little apology for not posting, the title of the next chapter is called Inevitable Unraveling and it will follow JJ's pov and pick up right after he and Casey talk outside of the police station, and the events the unfortunately follow with his father.

Hey! The next chapter will be up tomorrow! Just a heads up tho, it will be a short chapter. I realized while editing, I left out a big reveal from Casey's plot line, and left it really lack luster. Sooooo, to give it the time and acknowledgement it deserves, I need to add another chapter, with a different point of view. So, that means this next chapter is shorter. 
          
          Even though its shorter, hopefully it is still emotional and tugs at your heart strings.

Hello! 
          
          I just want to say a big thank you to everyone who has read Sunflower! 1K! What!? Is this even real?! It means the absolute world to me that people are enjoying it! I love this story like it is my child! The ups and downs the characters feel, I feel to! I try and visualize and feel what they are feeling so the fact you are all loving it is amazing! I can not thank you enough! 
          
          We are getting close to being half way through, but don't worry! There is already a finished second story, and I am soon starting the third story. As long as Outer Banks comes out, I will continues Cassandra's story! 
          
          Again, thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! <3 <3 <3 <3
