Hello again! I seem to have issues with the ads too, especially when they pop out of nowhere. It seems especially prevalent on my tablet, when I can't use any apps to block them out. Ack!

As for the cliffhanger, it should be resolved in the next chapter, that'll be out this week. So hopefully it won't be too long a wait! I'm glad you were able to picture them standing in the road together (no luxurious shower for days, of course) and forgetting everything around them, because that's what I was going for. Just a quiet little moment between the two of them, regardless of everything else that's going on.

And yes, all the hugs for Daryl, because he deserves all the happiness and good things! Especially now that any naysayers to that are gone. Yes...Rick supplies many hugs now, among other thangs, indeed. INDEED. :d

Thanks for stopping by again!
