So, I feel like I need to explain myself to you all. I've been gone for nearly a year now even though I promised to come back, and I want to apologize for that. I was diagnosed with cancer soon after I began this story, and every day since has been a struggle. I'm so sorry for the lack of updates and am hoping to return to AFF sometime this summer. I would ask that you bear with me until then, but I understand if you decide to discontinue reading. Thank you all for your love and support over the past year, and I hope to see you soon.
