A/N: Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you're all having an amazing time celebrating with your friends and family.
I actually tried to write a special New Year's chapter for you all, but after scrapping three different drafts, I realized the best thing I could do was simply say thank you. Three months ago, I started this as a new author who just wanted to write what I loved. Back then, I didn't care much about "quality"—I just wanted to make people laugh. While I still love comedy, I've started to care a lot more about the quality of the work I put out for you.
To everyone who has supported this journey—the silent readers and the commenters alike—thank you. A special thanks to Glitz1 and Thelostswordman; your support has meant the world to me and truly helped me keep going.
P.S. To cap off an amazing year... your author finally got himself a girlfriend! See you in the next chapter!
