And not soon after Asher grew up, Uncle Chase left with the Watcher.

Alec said that he was playing darts, and then just stopped, with a smile on his face.

And then he just faded away.

I went to spend some time with Uncle Ash. We had a lovely chat about family. He was really missing Aunt Agnes.

And then he got up to get a sandwich and

well, didn’t.

I’m kind of glad I was there, but there’s a hole in my heart that is going to be empty for a while.

Though I didn’t see much of Alec or Makena, I did talk to Atticus at the party.

He said he’s really glad Asher’s around. The four of them have arranged their work schedules so that someone’s always around to take care of him.

They all have a chance to bond with the baby without anyone getting overworked.

And they all have time for themselves as well.

Alec’s house was awfully exiting, too,

and for somewhat similar reasons,

though not completely the same...

The rest of the family had a pretty quiet day. Just normal carrying on.

Atticus is still working at the family trade, lemonade sales. He said Romana seems cool about Jordan and George.

Zach hasn’t frozen to death yet, though with tomorrow’s snow day, maybe someone will convince him to sleep inside?

Uncle Thor and Aunt Tish’s puppies are just tiny and adorable.

So Alec and Makena are officially married.

And we’re all pretty happy about it.

I have to say, Alec cleans up pretty well!

We had a pretty good time, except for a few awkward moments.
