Hi again!

I'm back - I know, it's been forever, but I couldn't stay away for too long, you all knew that. I have posted the sequel to this story under the name Equinox, it is available on my profile now! It takes place roughly two months after the end of Exceptions, and while I make no promises about the rapidity of my updates, I can promise that, because this story has a definitive plan and ending all worked out, it will be infinitely better organized!

Here's a teaser, to keep you all interested:

Diana smiled a little. "Was it that philosophy that prompted you to send Richard to Cambridge?"

Lord Fitzwilliam chuckled. "I did have to send him to university, but Richard was never an academic. Sharp as a razor, of course, and an avid reader. Fond of music too, but he could never have done well in the law, or medicine. I was almost relieved when he decided to join the army. It seemed something that he could do well."

"And you did not find the timing odd?" Diana raised an eyebrow. "Two months after I was married, he decided to ship off to war?"

"I admit, the thought did cross my mind," admitted Lord Fitzwilliam. "But your mamma was adamant that, had he truly wanted to marry you, there was nothing standing in his way – all he had to do was ask, we all knew you would have said yes. Of course, we did not consider other factors."

"Like my mother."

There it is! Let me know what you all think, and also how much you want me to shift between POVs - all Diana, some Richard, or a little bit of both to keep things interested? Of course, I will have my own surprises added in here and there, so don't forget to put me on author alert in case you haven't already!

I can't wait to dive back into these characters. See you all soon! xx
