Aw, thank you so much! For reading and commenting both. And I'm glad you liked the story, of course.

Yes, things don't actually get much better for Louis until much, much later. Fortunately for him, he will have a Chester! ;3

I feel bad for him too, though. :C

I know, Margot, Lawrence, and Helen are very together kids, it's true. I want to play around more with the ways they interact--maybe in another story sometime soon!
