Sorry I'm late, everyone! This week has been insane, and the chapter just wasn't ready to be posted yesterday. Thanks to the wait, however, it's now about 2000 words longer than it was yesterday, and about 2000 times better, too, I think.
So expect the next chapter within...say an hour. <sage nod>
Oh. And thanks for your review, MetroRhodes! I did miss you, actually--even your terrifying little host of emoticon followers. I do understand how RL can get, though... I have no less than 2 papers and 4 tests the first three days of next week. I think I'm going to die.
I hope the next chapter takes care of that addiction of yours, jojo.
