It's a bittersweet thing to say goodbye to this book. When I began writing it, it was with a lot of heavy thoughts and feelings on my mind that wove their way into the fabric of the story. My only hope in posting it was that it could find an audience of people who might relate or connect to the characters the way I was. In that, I feel like this experience has exceeded all my hopes, and that's thanks to you for reading. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving this story your time, attention and love. It means a lot to me.

Thanks also to Wattpad for providing a platform, for the Watty award and features which helped this story reach more people.

This isn't the end of my writing journey. I'm currently editing a finished draft of WOLF TEETH, my upcoming slow burn enemies-to-lovers story. If the idea of a snarky and isolated ex-soldier finding family amidst a dark, dystopic setting appeals to you, please take a look at my profile and give the first chapter a read! The rest will be coming soon in April 2021.

If you have any questions about SC or my work in general, feel free to leave them in an inline comment. I might do a Q&A follow-up chapter for those interested. ;)

Special thanks to Baylock, Bella, Cait, Jen Kap, Jenna, Jess Em, Keiron, LoneCicda, Pe'ta Ch., Shaun Hudson, Skiecrow, and VK for your support on Patreon! It means the world to me that you helped bring this book to life.

Much love to you all!
