LOL. I'm glad that this chapter managed to erase all the doom and glum that my last offering left you with, my friend. It's true that Severus thinks he only wants friendship, but that also happens to be the first step to 'more', don't you think? :D

Thanks, as always, for taking the time to both read and review another chapter of this story. Your lovely and enthusiastic comment left me grinning from ea to ear. :D
