Just wanted to note a couple things. First, I’ve come to realize that there are some discrepancies in the story (meaning my writing doesn’t always concord with itself, and it’s mostly because I “forget” that Imao is blind and she can’t necessarily ‘notice’ or ‘see’ something or someone) and I wanted to apologize for that in case I have made mistakes in any of the chapters and created any confusion. (BTW, I’m still looking for a Beat Reader) In all honesty, it’s kinda hard for me since I have no story writing experience as well as not writing so often. Another thing, there have been a lot of family issues lately that have been affecting me quite seriously in many ways for the last few months. But I’m hoping that this new year brings peace and happiness in my home and hopefully everything gets better. And so, here is my new chapter. Enjoy! (P.S. - It’s kinda long. Lol!)

Sorry for the delay. Like many others in this world, sometimes life just comes at you with soo many things that everything just becomes overwhelming and you just need to take a long break from it all. Unfortunately, I'm still going through some tough stuff but I'm finding inspiration here and there to continue my story at the pace I can. Again, I apologize for the delay. Enjoy.
