Thanks for this! It will help parse some of this. However, since this is a novel, many of these run-on sentences have quote issues, such as:

I wondered what he was doing here.”Hey, Michael—what’s up?” I asked.
Where did the time go?”I have to work tomorrow, so we need to cut this short.”
“Let’s get together again soon.”I knew I’d never see her again.

So, it can be a period, followed by an opening quote. Or a question mark, followed by text or an opening quote. Or, it can be an end-quote, followed by a capital letter.

This is really a mess. I do appreciate anything that can help. Thanks!
