Well.... It's time...
          
          We followed Leyla and Selim's journey for quite some time and now we are down to last 3 Chapters!!
          
          Hence we have a change in the schedule to keep the story going a bit longer. 
          
          In the following 2 weeks we will have one chapter on Thursdays and then the Epilogue on October 17th!!
          
          Do not miss the final chapter with lots of laughter, as we all need some of that these days!
          
          With Love, Ilgin...
