Hi, alright, it turns out, I need to go back and make two changes to the text. Richie noted that Flo was at the pickup before Caitlin whisked him off on his own. I'm going to make Flo's presence unseen. The other is I have to go everything and make the dates in the story match my notes. There are conflicts between whether this is taking place on a Thursday night or Wednesday. I'm going to clarify that it's Thursday. Those changes should be corrected this week, but definitely before chapter 9 posts.
Chapter is a little bit shorter this week because the sex scene between Perla and Richie opens up chapter 9 better than it closes chapter 8. I don't want the story to stop for sex, I want the sex to do some work.
With the holiday weekend, Nov 1st's post may be delayed until the 2nd, but I'm hoping it doesn't.
