    Summary

    When toddler Philip tugs on the wrong thread of time, his older brother Marcus is physically de-aged into a child. The spell won't undo easily. Caught between memory and magic, Marcus grows up a second time under the wary, watchful eye of his father.At first, everyone hopes it will be temporary. But days turn into weeks, and Marcus is forced to confront his past, his pride, and his place in a family that’s trying desperately to hold him close while the threads of time tug him further off course.

    From Mythbusters-inspired parachute disasters to midnight snack heists gone wrong, Marcus pushes every boundary Matthew sets—earning more than one sore backside and more than one moment of reflection. As the magic holding Marcus in this childlike state refuses to break, the family must navigate tantrums, trust, time spells, and the relentless ache of love that endures through every age.

    With Diana’s quiet wisdom, the twins’ accidental magic, and Matthew’s fierce, unrelenting love—this is the story of a son unraveled by time, and the father who holds fast to the thread.

    Summary

    Joel wipes his mouth against his arm, taking a quick sip from the glass of water he’s been spending the past hour staring at. He clears his throat, then meets her eyes. “What did you just say?”

    She rests her cheek against her hand, elbows still propped up on the table. “I asked if you wanted to get married at some point.”

    Joel nearly chokes again. “I mean, I—Tess.”

    “Take your time.”

     

    Tess lives and makes it back to Jackson with Joel and Ellie. Something has to shift.

    Ft. Joel being incredibly emotionally constipated and Tess being a good mom.

    Summary

    The first time he had stolen it, it had been because he was intrigued. Many men who came into Maison Elise had trinkets on them, valuable jewellery or fine handkerchiefs, gifts for their favourite prostitutes, but not many grown men were walking around Paris with little wooden toys.

    It was not worth anything when Fergus had stolen it, he could not sell it for much certainly, but it had been too tempting not to take.

    Fergus had never had a toy before. He made do of course, there were plenty of things for him to meddle with in the halls of the parlour, not to mention the streets of Paris, to keep himself entertained; but a toy was something else entirely. It was frivolous, devoid of any purpose beyond entertainment and joy. Fergus did not often have the luxury of such things.
