Chapter 34

Hey there, beautiful readers. I wanted to quickly apologize for not updating last week as I had promised. Approximately an hour after I had posted 33, I received news that I had known for over 20 years had committed suicide. It was hard to process as my mother recently passed 4.5 months prior. Losing the people you love and care for hits so hard, especially when it's in close proximity. I needed a few days to process it. I even made a comment on 33 about it. It sucks, and I will miss this friend, but life has to go on, right? I hope you all enjoyed 34. Please note that on Aug 8, there will be no update as I will be attending my friend's funeral.
