Hours later…
Zachery arrived at his home where Beth was. He cautiously snuck inside, barely making a sound thinking Beth would wake up.
However, just as he entered the living area, Beth was on the couch. "Welcome home."
She welcomed him coldly. Zach sighed as Beth's frustration was evident across her entire face.
"Beth, honey, have you been waiting for me?" Zach strode towards her and was about to place a kiss on her cheek but she turned her head away.
"Honey, I'm sorry, okay? I didn't mean to go home late. It's just…" His words trailed off as he let out a deep sigh.
Slowly, Zachery perched on the other couch in the living area. Resting his elbows on his leg, he hung his head low before casting her a glance.
"Something came up and…" He paused, clearing his throat as he gritted his teeth before proceeding with his lie.
"... I had to pull an all nighter."
Dear readers,
I know it's been a while since I updated a chapter. I've been seeing your concerns in the comment sections, some even dm-ed me in discord.
To be honest, I had mixed feelings about it. But the majority of that is I'm moved. Thank you, guys!
For those who missed my previous announcement, I stated there that I would be taking a month hiatus for personal reasons. It's been almost a year since I started writing WYM. and in the course of one year, I rarely missed an update unless I don't have a choice. (like the typhoon that hit our province)
Writing had been fun for me and I looove it, I really do. However, lately, I felt exhausted, drain, and been on the lows. Still, I never wanted to disappoint you guys, so I kept my daily releases to make up for the lack of mass releases.
And that still took a toll on me. I couldn't sleep -- I would be awake for 2 days without a wink of sleep; lost my already non-existent appetite, and just wanted to stop anything that I have started. I can't function, mentally and physically.
Of course, I don't want that. Deep down, I know I love writing and the story I'm writing. Thus, I decided to have a break to reconnect with writing, fix my sleep with the help of sleeping aids, and write every once in a while without the pressure of keeping a constant daily update.
Although it's just been almost 2 weeks since I announced about the hiatus, I mass released to let you guys know that I've been doing fine. Much better than ever.
Thank you for checking on me. I love you guys just as much as you love this story. Thank you for supporting me through and through <3 You helped me more than you thought and hopefully, I can keep this positivity for a long time.
Thank you <3
Always and Forever grateful,
BAJJ
