Hello all!

I feel as though I ought to first apologise to those of you who have been with this story since the first chapter was published way back in 2015. Since the turn of the year I have been editing the chapters of this story published between May 2015 and August 2017 (twenty five plus a prologue) in order to iron out any issues relating to spelling, punctuation, and grammar, and to improve my writing in places where I felt it necessary. I have done this by rewriting the story word by word, which has resulted in several slight tweaks in what takes place, though nothing so drastic that it alters the storyline in any way. The biggest change comes in what was chapter nineteen, with the addition of two new scenes forcing me to split it into two separate—and rather more detailed—chapters. These new scenes come at the end of chapter nineteen and the beginning of chapter twenty (or chapters twenty one and twenty two, depending whether you go by my chapter labelling or that which is given by FanFiction).

The characters remain unchanged, as does the general plot, and many of the alterations are so slight that they may well go unnoticed entirely. Thus, future chapters will still make sense if you do not wish to revisit previous ones.

I can only hope now that I don't get in too much of a pickle replacing the old chapters with the new ones, but if anything does go wrong—missing chapters or the like—I will try to rectify the issue as soon as possible.

I would like to thank anybody reading this story for their patience, and to reassure you that I still intend on completing it.

Rose
