Hey! As I've told a few other posters, I'm embarrassed to reply to you this late. Have I not received notifications? Or have I overlooked them? I'm not sure, but I'll check the forums in the future instead of counting on a notification if I get a message. I've apparently missed several posts. Anyway, I'm glad that you enjoyed the first chapter. Lord knows a lot of sweat went into it. As for Dallas, right now, he's not a romanceable character. The reason is simply that I need to keep the scope manageable. If/when I finish the four original options, I can consider adding more if there's still juice left in me. Or perhaps there can still be some way to get to know him better without marrying him - you know, get a taste of him on the side... we'll see, I don't dare to promise anything. But thank you for the kind feedback :)
