@justasimple_creature hi!!! absolutely not a bother, thank you so much for reaching out! i've just posted another chapter today, yay! i've been super busy with school (taking AP Calc was not a wise decision) and haven't had proper time to sit down and write in awhile. unfortunately i can't guarantee that updates will be regular again until the summer, but i am going to try my best to get out at least one chapter a month until then. so sorry about this but i'm so glad you like the story and thanks again for checking in, it means a lot. :) <3
