I'm glad to hear you had a great time despite the trials and tribulations! i haven't been to Disney World in decades, and I have to admit to a certain amount of envy.

Things have been... difficult the past few weeks. As with most self inflicted troubles, love and money can be found at the heart of the chaos, but I am coping. It has simply eaten more of my time and energy than I like to admit. i am slowly starting to get caught up on other matters. Thankfully so, in fact, because if there is any release to be found at times like this it is within the joy of writing! I just finished a reply for you, one where Kijani gets her apple. (Laughing) And NOW I just remember all the symbolism of apples! Perhaps now was the best time in the story for him to give her one, a foreshadowing of things to come for our troubled protagonists!
