Thank you! I've been kind of worried that it's gotten too dark and serious - especially for what was intended to be a fun, fluffy little thing - so I'm glad you're still finding it cute. I tried to up the cute just a little bit in this chapter, give them a touch of a breather.

(It's all going to hell pretty quick.)

I...am kind of in love with teenage John Sheridan. I feel like those triplets at the beginning of Beauty and the Beast who swoon over Gaston. (Which is what I imagine most of the girls at John's high school were like when he walked by.)
