My jaw dropped, 400 reads?! Look, I know that I've been neglecting the continuation of this story for all too long, but the fact that this many people have given my chapters the time of day makes it so much easier to keep going! Distancing myself from a hobby that truly makes me happy isn't good for me or YOU as the reader, so I hope you can all forgive my absence, and have as open of arms as I for-at long last-chapter nine! Thank you, not only for 400 reads, but for giving my crazy fanfiction a chance.
