Wow, did I get a positive response to chapter 1. So many readers and emails and positive scores. My thanks to all!
So, I'm just about to do the final pass on chapter 2, which is quite a bit longer than chapter 1, but some of that is introducing the kids' parents and setting more of the scene between them all. It also features a shopping trip, but it's a good one, honest. Poor Luke, he really doesn't see things coming unless they're really close up.
Anyhoo, everything's on schedule, and chapter 2 should be uploaded sometime on Sunday.
Salut!
