We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: •¤• Plunging back in... •¤•

•¤• As soon as she left the relative cool of the inn & tavern, Nicolette was struck by the glaring heat of the afternoon sun. The heat-induced flush quickly colored her otherwise ivory cheeks, beads of sweat forming on her brow. Sighing, she lifted the heavy skirts slightly off the ground and made her way through the crowds to the building Marcus was renovating. As she passed the strangers, she offered polite nods, and an occasional smile. Soot-colored curls hung past her shoulders, clinging to her neckline, fine wisps plastered to her temples. However, as if in defiance of the sun's glare, she carried herself confidently, refusing to scuttle meekly to shelter. So intent was she on reaching her destination, she was almost run over as MattM thundered past on his steed. •¤•

"Oh my heavens!!!"

•¤• The exclamation escaped her as she stumbled backwards, nearly tripping on her own skirts. Collecting herself, she shot a piercing, grey-eyed glare after the young man, so keen on showing off that he hadn't the brains to slow his mount within the city limits. Finally, she reached the shop, and stepped inside, looking for Marcus. •¤•

"Sir? I've brought you some water..."
