accomplishedWhy, back to Buckley Township, Michigan.
No tour of the history of the American Price family would be complete without a stop in Buckley. That's where Enid and Alexander settled down; where Jonathan brought home the Fabulous Fran, Star of New Mexico; where Alice Healy met Thomas Price. That's where it began.
It isn't where it ended.

This also serves as your discussion post.

We get to find out how a member of the most recent generation feels about Buckley Township and it's going to be awesome! Or, you know, involve almost-dead kids and people getting pissed at Verity for saving said kids, and also murder and lingering on the tragedy that befell Alice and Thomas, which all comes out to about the same thing!
"Do not run across your face in the small hours of the night, no, not even if we are afraid of the sounds in the walls and hoping that our claws will wake you."
That...is a very good rule. GAHH. The Aeslin are lucky they're so adorable. Even if they do spring songs about genitalia on their gods (and priestesses?)
And I guess "the ghost in the old
ParrishPrice place" is either going to come back to haunt (ha!) the family later, or it's a story that's cropped up. Or both. 'Both' seems probable.Dominic's first statement upon getting a noseful of pollen makes me wonder: has he had to chase a bogeyman around Euro Disney? Also, the line about how "It can be exhausting, learning not to listen to the things that don't apply to you." makes me wonder how much he's been applying that lesson to being called "the Covenant boyfriend" when he's cut ties with them.
Aaaaaand just so you know, I literally squeaked and danced a bit when Dominic proposed. Awww!
Thank you so much for this excellent story!
