hello readers!! before i get into the big announcement, i would just like to say... THANK YOU!!!! thank you so much to everyone who has gotten this far! to those of you that read every chapter, and made it to the end of this project. i have been writing this story for about a YEAR now, if you can believe it, and i am just so so grateful that all of you have been right there with me. whether you've been here from the start, or you just found this story, from the bottom of my heart: thank you. i love you all.

now, for the big announcement:

will release in summer of 2023

i told you it wouldn't be the last time you saw steven!

the plot takes place 10 months after the events of book one- it's now june of the next year, and steven is back in beach city. now it's time to talk about the future, living situations, and what might've happened while you were separated... on top of all that, something sinister is brewing in beach city, and tons of old gem experiments are resurfacing all at once. what does the universe have in mind for you and steven, and will your relationship prevail?

i'm so so excited for this story to continue, and i can't wait to have you all there with me. i hope to see you next year!
