Sorry to keep you waiting for this installment. I took a much needed hiatus over the summer. I love being outdoors and it was too hard to stay inside by my computer. Thank you for your patience, but more importantly, for all of your reviews, follows and favorites. It really does keep me going.

Thanks so much for all your support for this story! I really love reading your reviews and PMs, they keep me going! It's wonderful that you keep checking up on me and keep me on task. I feel so loved! And please know, that I do channel all those good vibes into my writing, even when I'm making you cry.

I hope you enjoy this chapter. There is a little bit of a time shift at the beginning. We go back in time a few hours. Hope it's not confusing. As always, please let me know what you think/feel. It really means more to me than I can possibly tell you. -jb
