It's 1944, and we're going to live forever, and I'm going to marry her someday...
November is halfway gone, and that means it's time for our last stop along the road that runs from Sparrow Hill to the Last Chance Diner. Next month, we reach our destination; next month, old friends come calling, old bills come due, and everything comes to an end (hopefully with a minimum of steaming wreckage). Our year-long journey is finally almost over. But for now...
Issue 59 of The Edge of Propinquity is live, and with it, the eleventh of the Sparrow Hill Road stories is available. "Faithfully" takes us back to Rose Marshall's past, and into the arms of Gary Daniels, the only man she ever loved among the living. But everything that loves dies. Can she help the man who once brought her home find his own way there?
There are a lot of stories trapped and tangled in the twilight. This is only one of them. But it's the one I have to tell.
That was an awesome one. I feel like I'm going to cry, lol, it's just so ahhhh. The fact that even when she gets him she doesn't get to keep *him*. Man, bittersweet. And I love that even though we've only had short glimpses of Gary from the earlier chapters in this one he still feels like a solid character and the flashbacks/his POVs doesn't feel weird or out of place. I think this might be my favourite chapter so far.
Just one thing, she said that any family close enough to her to pull her back has already died, I thought she had a brother who was still alive? Bethany's grandfather?
After re-reading part seven, she does have a brother, and he is still alive.
However, it's possible that "close enough" refers to ties of the heart, and that when Arthur Marshall calls for somebody to guide him, it won't be Rose.
