Welp, I'm back! :) I'm starting late in the week (It's Wednesday, as I write
this.....), so I'm not quite sure I'll be able to get this out in time. I
hope I will, but, you never know. OK, I've gotten TONS of wonderful e-mails
from lots of people, and consequently a couple new editors! :) This is BY
FAR, my most popular story, and I am so happy I could cry! I am getting
people signing their e-mails 'your fan', and I couldn't be more ecstatic! I
LOVE e-mail, and you are all being so wonderful! Thank you to EVERYONE who
has written me! I try to e-mail everyone back who e-mails me, but I must
thank you publicly too! I can't explain how talented I feel when people tell
me I'm their favorite author! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! (Shameless
flattery here....) If you haven't already, go read "A Birthday Wish Come
True", by Sailor Elysia! Truly a wonderful story! Just drips with romance.
:) OK, Well, all "Love Through Time" fans will be happy to know I'm half way
through chapter 2! I won't have it out this week (I don't think....), but it
should be out very soon! Yay! OK, I'm hoping this will be longer and more
exciting than chapter 6, but we'll see, K? Hope you enjoy! Ja! - Sailor

rumors that had been spread about my unknown disappearance. I had worked a
little while in the hospital, and I felt like I was ready for almost
anything.

        Except for Jared, that is.

        I decided early on I was going to avoid him. I had no idea what
