Oh, John. He breaks my heart, too. He reminds me of my nephew (who's now all grown up). When he was six, he insisted on doing a scary ride at a park and made me not even wait with him in line. He was scared, proud and determined and I just wanted to hug him to me. But I had to let him take his risks. That's how John feels to me.

Kitty and Bobby... ahhh, is it over? Well, it's a step, as you say. They will meet someone in Chapter 10 (no, not John) who will complicate their relationship considerably.

I won't promise a completion date for 10. I am trying not to exceed a month between chapters. I am finally ready to start writing. It's a complicated chapter with tons of characters. And HOT SEX!!
