First off, I would like to apologize for my prolonged absence and defend myself briefly. Between school and work, I had no time to breathe, much less write or continue pushing myself farther to write. I had no idea I would just stop and I do apologize for that. But that changes now. Over the holidays, I sat down and I started writing again and continuing on with Elena's story and she is not burned out yet. Her story is not finished yet. I went back and read her story from beginning to end, including the story outline for this fanfic and I knew that I had to keep going, not only for her or for the people who were waiting for me but I had to keep going for myself too. The next chapter should be published by the first week of this year and if not, very very soon. It is a lot to ask you to stick with me after months of disappearing but believe me, we still have a long way to go. So whether you've outgrown Elena's story with Draco or not, I thank you for everything and ask you to stick with us, until the very end. I love you all so much and you'll be hearing from me soon, I promise. -K <3
