I can’t tell you how nice it is to get to read about Kayla, Ariana, Snow and the rest of the gang again. Especially since they all seem to be happy for once xD I’m very excited for this story cos I at the moment I am getting very cozy and sweet vibes and I feel less on edge than I normally do when reading the other stories in this series :P I don’t feel completely safe, of course, because something spooky happening is never off the table completely, but for the most part I feel pretty secure reading this xD

Anyway, there’s not too much to say here since this is very much an intro, but it felt very natural and pretty much perfect. With all the references to previous events and the intro part it was easy to slide back into the series and remember all the things that had happened at the end of Warehouse, although it’s been a while since I reread it.  I’m really excited to see what happened and I’m very ready for all the sweet moments and fluff that I anticipate xD Probably what I am looking forward to most is seeing Kayla, Ariana and SNow as a family, and hopefully how this event will bond them even more considering the three of them haven't really been together all that long yet. 

Heh, well I can’t tell you how nice it is to write about these characters in a much happier setting either xD To be honest, that’s one of the biggest reasons I haven’t done anything with A Dangerous Game in almost a year. Everyone in that is so sad, scared, or just plain miserable and it was honestly starting to get to me. Snow, in particular, is difficult for me to write and with AJ on the way, I didn’t want to bring in bad vibes so that got put on pause for a while. I’ll be returning to that SoonTM. And also, let me allay your worries completely. There will not be anything spooky happening here, I promise. This is mainly a pure nostalgia trip for me :P I wanted to go back to a different time and place; when I was writing from my old bedroom in my parent’s apartment and putting together this weird idea I’d gotten about this girl that lived in a warehouse. So I went digging through my old folders of scrapped ideas and found this. Fun fact, the majority of what you just read was written years ago. Back before I’d even finished The Girl and the Warehouse. My original idea for a sequel was this Paris trip, although it was a fair bit darker as it involved a subplot with Kayla’s dad being… less reformed than he appeared to be. I’d planned a series of these not-quite short stories that would carry on from where the original ended and this was the first. But then the idea for Snowfall came along and this got shelved. I still kept what I’d written though, figuring I could maybe use bits of it later. Who knew that 8 years later I’d be nostalgic enough to dust this off? I have to scrap most of it since the Byron subplot affected too much for me to keep really any parts of the original except this opening. So yeah, anyway, before I ramble on for hours, suffice to say that if you’re looking for cozy and sweet vibes, you’ve come to the right place. This is, at its core, a continuation of the love story between Kayla and Ariana. It will be sickeningly sweet; it will be horrendously fluffy, and almost certainly nostalgic with plenty of references and callbacks. It will be me writing with zero planning and a plot that I make up as I go along. To be honest, I’m looking forward to it xD Thanks for commenting!!!

This was such a fun read! I really enjoyed all the descriptive imagery you included and the dynamic between Kayla and Ariana was so enjoyable and heartwarming. I'm looking forward to reading more chapters in the future! 

Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you enjoyed this little trip to simpler times. This is a spinoff/short story/sequel/interquel/whatever you want to call it from the main series that I've been writing for years. That series has a significantly darker tone, so I wanted this to be sweet and cozy and heartwarming instead. I'm glad you liked Kayla and Ariana's dynamic as well. Those two have a very special place in my heart and due to events that happen later in their lives, I haven't been able to write them quite like this in a long time. So I'm glad you're enjoying them. Thanks again for the comment. I appreciate it :)
