The interuption was semi-expected

Yes, yes--my beta told me that I was torturing her, but I was like, hey--can't give in that easily yet!! :D

Thanks, hon! I'm really glad you're enjoying the story. Like I said in my other comment, it really has been tons of fun to write. Your reaction here too makes it all the more rewarding! What a lovely comment, hon. Thank you!

And I'm glad I could cheer you up after your crap day! ♥
