There were some risks involved with letting the late-night escapades continue on, and I knew the main reason why it was happening in the first place was because Miriam...

NOTE: This chapter finishes this scene (which means it's got some more steamy stuff to finish off the visit), but it also sets up a few future plot points.
After this chapter, the story will be in a position to focus more on some of the open plot-points (like Liz and Jessica situation, etc.).
Due to the discussion in the comments of the previous chapter (about the relationship-focused aspect of the story), my goal for this chapter was to mostly make it about Kai and Serenity.
Hopefully you enjoy it.

FEEDBACK: Thoughts?
1. Does anyone actually like Amber? Or anyone at least generally interested in her character? (I wasn't necessarily aiming for her to be likeable or unlikeable, but so far it seems all the comments are leaning toward not really caring about this Amber character at all, not even enough to get to know anything about her. Which I suppose I find surprising mostly just because she's also supposedly Taylor.)
Amber Poll
2. Thoughts about Amber's supposed charm? (I tried to be more intentional about pointing it out this time. The characters are under the assumption that Amber is clueless, but what if she's not? I enjoy it when you guys come up with your own theories.)
3. Looks like Miriam is doing some hiring: Any thoughts on that? (Probably won't be a huge aspect, but it will definitely come up again.)
NOTE: As discussed in the comments on the last chapter, I will make an effort to focus specifically on some of the relationship aspects of the story (which is a big part of what the story has been thus far), not just the steamy parts. Apparently the slice-of-life relationship aspects are the part a lot of you feel like is missing in the last few dozen chapters.
It sounds like the general consensus is that most are interested in about 40%-50% action/mystery plot, maybe 30%-40% relationship stuff, and then maybe only about 20% steamy stuff. Probably everyone has a different ratio they'd prefer, but I'd say most of the story thus far has been roughly 30% mystery plot, 50% relationships, and then 20% steamy stuff.
