AN:
This is not another chapter of First Blush. I decided to end it where it was.
As always when I find things taking turns in my stories, I debate whether to continue in the same story, or to break off with something else. I decided for this one to break off. First Blush is really the story of them becoming partners. This is moving into a different phase. If I can keep it going, it will be a trilogy I think, but I'm not putting my eggs all in that basket.
I hope my faithful readers will continue to read (and better yet, review!) my new story. More than that, I hope it continues to be entertaining. And that I keep wanting to write.
Thank you to everyone who has read First Blush, it is deeply appreciated.
