So close!

And back again! Sorry for the long hiatus, everyone. This holiday season really kicked my ass in both the work and personal spheres of my life, lol. But I took last week off to relax, recharge AND to get myself a few pages ahead. So updates should resume as normal for a bit.

Thanks for your patience, everyone.

(And don't worry, they are going to do the deed before the chapter's over. I'm just building more suspense and character development. You'll see.)
