Wow, second time now that I've posted Author's Notes as a comment and then deleted them. You can really tell that I went to college...

OMG I am obsessed with your story. Every time a new chapter is posted, I go back and read it all from the beginning 😳. I can’t wait to see where you take this!

Thanks so much! I'm really glad people have been enjoying it. For what it's worth, writing the next chapter is actually progressing rather smoothly, so there shouldn't be too many days left before another update.

Out of curiosity, what about the story have you been enjoying so far? Any suggestions, questions, concerns or criticisms? I'm always up for improving whatever I can.

For me, I enjoy how you told the story from where the feelings of friendship are just beginning to change and they have yet to put a name to it. You get the feelings and thoughts of everyone in a way that is unique to their character, even the antagonist (trying to avoid spoilers). You write really well, and I am able to feel what the characters are feeling. Awesome job!

Well, thank you very much!
Two of my primary goals with any story is to make sure that the characters are accurately portrayed, and that the emotions and sentiments therein can be shared by the audience. It's good to know that I appear to be achieving those goals.

I shall continue to do my best, and I hope it's worth the wait.
