A/N:

Hey everyone!

I hope you all have been well. I know this is not a new chapter but, I AM still writing this story and have been making progress, albeit very slow progress, on the next chapter. I have been super busy with grad school applications and have not had the mental bandwidth to write. However, I found out that I did get into my first choice grad school (which is a miracle considering the cluster f*ck that is the USA right now). Anywho, overall, my goal is to finish this story by the beginning of September. Tbh, I need something I can look back on that is complete when I start my doctoral program. So! I am not only trying to finish this for you all but also for me lol. I should have the next chapter out within the next week or so and I will also post it on AO3. Thank you all for being so patient and believe me I have NOT forgotten this story.
