So unfortunately I still haven''t quite got the hang of my new schedule with my new job, needy pets, writing, and other obligations, so I won''t have the story ready by 8 pm tonight. I really hate it when I don''t meet the deadline, especially because I know one chapter a week is a pretty slow release schedule, so I''m going to do my best to still get the chapter out tonight but it''ll be several hours late probably--at best. At worst, it''ll be out on Friday at the very latest as I won''t have a lot of time to write tomorrow. This chapter has been more difficult to write unfortunately as some character interactions aren''t ringing true, so I''m trying to get it to a length and quality that is good enough for you, the readers, and the story itself.
