Thank you, Lily, for catching an error in my original Ch. 19 post!
And thank you to all my dear, dear readers here. You make my day. It's been a rough two years, so I am very sorry for my delays. Life took off at a breakneck speed for me. (Job transitions, baby, moving to a new state, more transitions, new work). So thank you for your patience and continuing enthusiasm!
ARCHIVERS (Crysty -- I assume), to make your job easier, please just take down Ch. 19 or mark it for deletion. I will repost ARCHIVE VERSIONS of the most recent chapters (stretching a waaays back) in order to make your posting of the story easier, as well as easier on my readers who would have to dive deep into the forum to find my previous chapters. Thank you for your work here at DWG. It brings joy to writers and readers alike.
