Uhm. Cliffhanger anyone? This story took some getting used to, but in terms of interesting reads and proper use of the English language it gets top marks.

I need more! Why does it say completed!?

P.S. Although I stand by what I said before, I must admit that in cases such as the one you presented in the last chapter/author's note (C/A/N ?) where the future status of the story is unclear, a short chapter with less wait time can be more satisfying in bringing the news earlier that the story will continue.

Though sincere and original, this came to my mind when I read another review after posting mine. In your response to that review, you said the next phase was in the works, but in your response to other reviews you called this an epilogue-type piece. So now I am confused and anxious again; is this the end of your work on this story, or not?

I've said it before I think, but I don't know about the majority of readers, but I presonally find long chapters to be better, and very long chapters to be best, especially when chapters are months+ apart. I would rather wait longer and read a more substantial chapter than have more, shorter chapters and more frequently relive the frustration and anxiety of having nothing left to read in one of my favorite stories ever and wanting to read more. That said, it is of course up to you.

Regarding the elements of the chapter itself, it seems as close to a "filler" episode of an anime series as I can remember seeing in writing off the top of my head (though that doesn't say much as I can rarely recall much off the top of myy head). I mean this only in the sense of the role a filler episode plays in relation to the entire series, not to compare your work with anime.

It displays certain known characteristics of main charaters (mostly Scott) without moving the plot forward, almost like a rehash, and most likely is meant to hold the audience over until something of more densely plot-moving content substance is developed and put out. For example, it seemed like you were playing up Scott's verbal wit; his careless?/playful? personality (I don't really know how to describe it), with his climbing in through the window and sitting on the swings' bar; and his war-centric professionalism where Harry, etc. would balk, with the bait idea.

I understand this is the last period of time when Harry could be reasonably expected to come near Surrey or that playground

but is your mentioning the concept of coming full circle, and writing this scene in the first place, way before the story's over, a reflection of uncertainty about/unwillingness to continue writing this story that you might have?

I'm so incredibly excited. I was hoping so badly that you would continue this story. Bravo! An excellent start to the next phase of your story!

I laughed rather heartily over Harry getting aroused about Ginny all tied up.

Keep it up!

And here I thought Scott and Harry were on an extended sabbatical.

Your line, "And core competencies is pointless business jargon designed to express a very simple concept in a complicated way so that it takes up more time at meetings,” Scott explained." is one of the painful truths of being in the corporate world.

Thanks for the update.

Awesome, Caleb! I was so happy to see that you added another chapter! I love the fact that Scott is showing up in the middle of the night and throwing rocks at Harry's window so they can "plan" lol. His "back up plan" is great!

It was also good to see Harry still thinking about Ginny. There hasn't been much Ginny and she's easy to forget about, good to know Harry hasn't forgotten her!

Your story is pure genius. I already know what's going to happen in a general sense, but it is so different and creative that it pulls me in and reminds me that I don't know what's going to happen at all lol.

Thanks so much for continuing this story!!!!!!!
