dont got batshit; Take a day, sleep, and get back on that grind goin hard as a motherf*cker. I've been where you are (exactly if you dont include the writing) and it sucks, but there's a major payoff in the end. :)
Congrats on the homecoming events. Those things are important to enjoy!! I appreciate your commitment to this awesome story and will be here when you have time:)
Clearly I have no life as I have commented so much!!! But I really do love this story! I don't think they gave in too soon. They are adults and should be past the playing games phase. Plus, when you know you have found something special ....you know:)
