Update: A Mark Of Appeal
Added 2016-11-14 05:08:04 +0000 UTCSo I had originally thought this was going to be one more chapter, possibly two. And it turned out to be at least two, and more likely three. The lesson, in this case, is that sometimes characters do what they wish. What they must.
Also, this was originally not supposed to be in the 11k word range. But you know... *sigh* As the joke continues to go: "Hi. I'm Estee."
We're still approaching the finish line on this one. I hope you can trust me when I say it's in sight.
