For those of you that followed this story when it first came to life five years ago, thank you. I also apologise for letting you read through some terrible writing—hopefully what you're about to read is a whole lot better.

As we all know, the world has gone to shit with the COVID virus, and while I have been off work, I have broken my five-year hiatus of writing and gotten back into it, knowing I have a tonne of time on my hands.

Each chapter of this story has been re-written and updated, some things have changed, but the general gist of the story is the same.

If you decide to re-read, thank you so much, please let me know what you think.

I hope everyone is staying safe in these trying times.

Peace.

—Beth.
