Author's Note: So, some of you are irritated that I changed the kids' names. In an effort to not explain myself to every one of you, I will do it here. I adored the names, Dorian and Portia. The only reason I changed them was because SaturnineSunshine asked me too, since my characterization wasn't spot on with how she'd created her characters. It was a way for me to separate my story from hers, since I obviously interpreted her fic/characters different than they were meant to be. Elizabeth is purely symbolic. Obviously that name is too common. Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton had a sort of back-and-forth chasing-type romance like CB do, and especially in "Sweet Fire". As I'm sure most of you know, a lot of the time celebrities paralleled to CB are put into fics as names of their children or what not. As for Stefan, I know no Stefans whatsoever, except for vampire Salvatore in The Vampire Diaries. It's not supposed to be pronounced like Steven, if that's what you were thinking, because obviously that's too common as well. I hope this note clears up why I changed the names and the names I changed them to, and hopefully you'll be accepting of it, because I would not like to take my story down twice. I haven't exactly gotten good reception.


P.S. Please do not flame this note. I'm just trying to clarify myself and explain that I didn't just pick these names out of a hat, and especially not because I didn't like the original ones. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out unique names, because I am well aware that CB wouldn't name their kids just anything, like Bob and Judy.
