Good news, people:
The additional scene I've been relentlessly honing for the past couple months is finally in the hands of my editor, Stevieraygovan. All I can say is writer's block sucks, but I'm past it. With any luck I expect the final edit back in my hands by Tuesday. I spent a lot of time perfecting this chapter until it was something I was content with, and my hope is that you will have found it worth the wait. For those who have criticized my previous chapters being too short--thankfully there haven't been many--chapter three is about 10% longer than chapters one and two combined. I'll be posting another update when I finally upload, and thanks for your patience,
