Hello everyone,

This past weekend one of my dogs slipped her leash and was hit by a car. The ER was unfortunately not able to save her.

If you've read my story, I'm sure it's obvious just how important my dogs are to me. There are no words to convey my heartbreak and devastation.

In addition to this, my partner and I are closing on a new house today, so we are in the middle of packing and moving, and I am also looking for a new job. Basically, I'm just not going to have the energy or headspace to focus on RR for at least a couple weeks.

Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.

I have moved the next chapter release to August 23rd and my goal is to stick to that date, but it may change depending on where I am mentally.

Thank you so much for your understanding, and I hope you'll be back on the 23rd.

--K.E.
