Happy New Year to you as well my dear! And you are very welcome for the meal, I hope it has left you sated. I am elated that your lovely ladies have got you down so badly and that you're enjoying each of them so much. You have done me a great honor by complimenting the Zahn spice. I enjoy writing those scenes and I fret about them being enjoyable for a wide audience.
I've had a pretty good and much-needed break and am getting in gear to begin writing chapter 6! It is outlined already. ^_^
