“I’m going to need a few minutes to answer that.” 😂 Or a week! Or until Saturday at 3:00 pm EST!

Seriously, bro, great episode. Eve is a proper badass, who knew?

Yea! I’m glad you’re planning to join the live broadcast, Julie. Now I have to start practicing!

The part where they all wrapped around Deepu!! 💔😭 I’m so invested in these characters. And I’m so envious of everyone that gets to experience the end LIVE and days before me on Saturday!!! It’s going to be very strange not having Harmony House be a part of my week any more. Very curious as to whether you’ve ever considered a sequel…

I’m so sad you won’t be able to make it, but have no fear, the final episode will land in your inbox on Tuesday and if all goes well, I might include a recording of the live event. Thanks so much for always being here every week. Regarding a sequel, I have not really thought about what’s next for me here on Substack. Everything is on the table so we’ll see.

If I indefinitely refuse to read this, will it make the story keep going forever instead of ending next week? 🤔😬

That’s one way to make it last, Caz! You could also consider a mind wipe. But it might be easier just to pick up my other book, “the memory of my shadow.” 😉

How to prove loyalty! Such a classic yet important and exciting way to wrap things up. Excited to see what you come up with!

I’m going to RSVP yes but I’m not sure if I can make it. We’ve had a hectic week with hospital visits (all good now 😅) and I’m flying home then back out within the weekend! All to say, I love this idea to end your project and will do my best, Ben. 😁

Thanks Kate! Sorry to hear your life is involved hospital visits recently. I hope everyone is OK. Doing this live event will be a fun experiment and I have super low expectations. If two or three folks are able to join that’ll be great.

All fine now, thank you; typical kindergarten stuff! I think that’s a great attitude about the project. Still hope to make it and regardless look forward to hearing the conclusion 🤗

What a cliffhanger! I find myself wondering what I would say to get Fitzpatrick to prove it!

Great work Ben. Can't believe just one more to go!

PS a wee too early for the zoom for me I think, but hope it's awesome. Will we get the audio here, or will you do a second recording? (I'm assuming the former. Would be great to listen in on the zoom, even if not live.)

I know it is! So sorry. I don’t think there’s a time that would actually work across this audience. I’ll make a go of trying to record the meeting, though I know that won’t be the same. You and I should still make some time to catch up on on one.

No worries, Ben, and don't worry if you can't manage the recording or if it's something you'd rather not do.

And yes, definitely a catch up soon for sure!
