robinson Glad you liked it. This was the transition chapter - when things begin to get better ... finally!

Michael Thanks! I have plot outlines for stories 4,5 and 6. Very little detail yet, so they won't be posted for awhile.

Kathryn Thanks for taking the time to post FDK.

Terry They've had two weeks to think about it - enough time to gain some perspective - see part 8!
Thanks for your comments.

Corrina.
