awakeSometimes love is the only thing that motivates a person to do things they really ought to know better than doing, like, oh. Making a bargain with an unknown and potentially demonic force to keep someone's flesh from sloughing entirely off their bodies. As an example. Or following their suddenly missing husbands through holes hewn in the very fabric of reality while eight months pregnant, trying to get them back. As a slightly worse example.
Still. Love can be a good thing. It was love of the mice that allowed Enid Healy to listen to her husband when he told her what he had found. It was love of his daughter that caused Jonathan Healy to follow Alice into the woods on the night when she went looking for whatever it was that had been killing local children. And it was love that caused Angela Baker to adopt three children, one of whom she knew might well grow up to be a murderer. Love makes the world go 'round.
Love is the thing that can hurt you the most. Beware of love.
There's nothing darker in these hills.

Oh god, you are the WORST. Some of these questions may never get answered.

But, to make it explicit:
- Who made the bargain with what demonic force?
- What happened to the baby? (New readers may ask, who is chasing after her husband while being eight months pregnant, but I know that one.)
- What did Alexander Healy find?
There are others (Why did Alice go into the woods by herself, etc.), but the three above are the ones I am expecting to not get answers for, for books and books and books because they strike me as plot relevant.

Really warped weird children, the type who had "Close Your Eyes" by Daniel Glasser sung as their lullabyes...

True love is the best thing ever. Well, except driving your enemies before you, sowing the soil with salt as you go, stopping only to fill in the wells and burn the villages. But after that, love is the best thing.
Thank You for reminding me. I love You!

I thought that *was* love... have I been doing it wrong all this time? :)
