ChrisfoundMalpacingdownstairs,shakinghisheadandmuEeringtohimself.
“What’swrong?”sheasked.
Hestopped.“AmIdoingtherightthing?”Malcrossedhisarmsandlookeddown.
“Aboutwhat?”sheasked,realizingtheanswertoherquesNonnotlongaOeritpoppedoutofhermouth.“Talktome,Mal.”
“IfIdothis—ifIpushWillintothismarriage—thenhe’snotgoingtobehappy,”Malsaid.“HedeservestohavesomeonebyhissidewhohelovesthewayIloveyou.EventhoughIbarelyknewyoubeforeMomarrangedourmarriage…Ibarelyknewyou,butIhadachancetogettoknowyou.Will’snotgoingtohavethatchance—he’salreadygoEentoknowJanassomeoneelse.Someonewhosomeoneelsehasloved.Wholovessomeoneelse.

“WecandecidethatwhentheNmecomes,”Chrissaid.

“IfeellikeIcouldhavestoppedthisfromhappeningifIhadn’tjumpedonthatfoodservicejobandjustwentforwhatIreallywanted,”Chrissaid.
MalreachedforherhandatthesameNmethatChrisreachedforhis.“Don’tworryaboutit,”hesaid.“MaybetherewouldbeallkindsofinvenNonsfillingupthehousenow,butIwouldn’ttradeleWngthekidseatforanything.Ineverwantedthemtogohungrybecausefoodwassoscarce.”Hefrowned.“Iwantedtogivethemeverything.”

“Mal,”shesaid.“there’sawomannamedAlayneStonelivinginWinterfell.I’mnotsureifIbelievethis,but…apparentlyshe’syourgrandmother,andshe’stryingtohurtus.”
Malstaredather,notunderstanding.“What—mygrandmother—youmeanSansa?How?Why?Howcanthatbepossible?”
“Becausetheghostsofpeopleweknowcomebacktohauntus,”Chrissaid.“Isitreallythatmuchofastretchtogofromghoststopeoplewhohavecompletelyrisenfromthedead?”

“Don’tworry,”Chrissaid.“We’llmakeitthrough.Wealwayshave.”
Malhuggedher.“Iloveyou.Idon’tknowwhatI’ddowithoutyou.”
“Iloveyou,too.”
Willdidn’tknowwhattoexpectwhenthetaxidroppedhimoffandhewalkeduptoWinterfell.Herehewas.Sabrielwastheonlymemberofhisfamilywhohe’dseeninthreeyears;phoneconversaNonsdidn’tcount.Howwaseveryonedoing?Hadtheychangedasmuchashefeltlikehehad?DidtheysNlllovehim?Ofcoursetheydid.Theywerehisfamily.Butwhatiftheydidn’t?
JuliancameouttogreetWillandwaved.“Welcomehome,”hesaid.
“Thanks.It’sgreattoseeyou,”Willsaid.Heleanedcloser.“Isthat…anengagementring?”
“Itis,believeitornot.BriEanyaskedmetomarryher.”
“NotJan?”
Julianlookeddown.“No.Whydon’twegoinsideandtalkaboutit?Yourdadwantstoaskyousomething.”
Willwalkedupthestepsandlookedintothehouse.Thefirstfloorlivinganddiningareahadn’tchangedonebit.Hehadrememberedthewallpaperasabrighteryellow,butnowthatitwasinfrontofhim,hedidn’tseewhathadmadehimthinkthat.ButeventhisincrediblyfamiliarroomseemedsodifferentaOeryearsofbarewallsanditchybluecarpeNng.LookingbackatthishouseremindedWilljusthowluckyhewastobeabletolivethere.NofighNngtosurvive.Theymighthavetofight,butitwassotheycouldmakelifebeEerforeveryoneelse.

“We’vebeentalkingalotabouttheheirship.”
“Hassomethingchanged?”Willasked.
“No,”Malsaid.“WesNllwantyoutobeheir—ifyousNllwantit,ofcourse.”
“Whywouldn’tIwantit?”Willfeltrelievedforamoment,buthehadafeelingthatthisquesNonwouldhaveananswerthathedidn’twanttohear.
“YouaskedmeearlierwhyIwasn’tmarryingJan,”Juliansaid,takingaseatnexttoWill.
“Andwhyaren’tyou?Asidefromthefactthatyou’reaRomanceSim—butwhymarrysomeoneelse,then?”
“Janisatheorist,”Malexplained.“Ithoughtitwouldbeagoodideatoaskifshecouldhelpthefamily,becauseshecouldbeinvenNngsomereallyinteresNngthings.ButthenJulianremindedmethatthere’sonlyonewaythatshecanhelpthefamily:ifshemarriesyou.”
“What?”Willasked.“Jan—marriesme?Howisthatsupposedtowork?”
“Well,youdon’thaveto,”Malsaid,wishinghe’dthoughtmoreaboutthebackupplannow.
“Andyou’reokaywiththis?”WillaskedJulian.“Youthinkit’sjustfineifithappens?”
“Honestly,I’mtryingtobehappywithit,”Juliansaid.“ButIloveBriEany,too,andIthinkI’mgoingtobehappierspendingtherestofmyNmewithherthanIwouldbeonmyown.It’snotwhatIwanted.ButnomaEerwhatyouchoose,Will,I’vefoundsomeoneIlove,andI’mgoingtobeokay.”
Willturnedbacktohisdadandwatchedhismomgrabasandwichandtaketheemptyseatatthetable.“IsNlldon’tgetthis,”hesaid.“Youthinkit’sagoodideaformetomarryUncleJulian’sgirlfriendbecause…ofherjob?”Couldthatbeagoodreasontomarryher?Couldanythingbeagoodenoughreason,evenifheseemedtohavehisuncle’spermission?
“Shedoeshaveanimportantjob,”Chrispointedout.“Andherworkcoulddomoreforthiscommunitythanwecouldeverimagine.We’renotgoingtodoanythingunNlbothofyousayyes,butyourdadandIthinkit’ssomethingthat’satleastworthconsidering.”
“SowhathappensifIconsideritandIsayno?”Willasked.“DoesthatmeanIcan’tbetheheiranymore?Isfindingatheoristreallythatimportant?”

“WethoughtthatwewouldtalkaboutthatwhentheNmecameandgivebothofyoutheopNon,”Chrissaid.
“It’syourchoice.Whateveryouwant.”
Butitsurelookedliketherewasarightchoiceandawrongone.
Willstaredathissandwich.Eventhoughnoonehadsaidtheseexactwordstohim,hehadalwaysknownsomewheredeepdownthathewouldhavetomakesacrificesforhisfamily,whetherhewastheheirornot.Hejusthadn’tknownwhatwouldbeaskedofhim.
Hehadtomarrysomeone,didn’the?WillhadoneyearleOincollege,andhehadn’tfoundanyonewhoheloved,letaloneanyonehelovedenoughtomarry.Butwhenhegraduated,hewouldhavetomovehome,findwork,andgetmarriedquicklyinordertoensurethatthefamilywouldconNnueintothenextgeneraNon.Ifhecouldn’tfindsomeonehimself,whynotacceptthepersonwhotheytoldhimtomarry?
Butpartofhimcriedout.ThiswasJan.ItwasthewomanwhohadsataroundthetableinherunderwearwhoknewhowmanyNmesanddancedthesmustleashebecameateenager.Julianmightbeflashinganengagementringandsayinghewasfinewiththismarriage,buthowcouldhisunclejustletgoofsomeonehehadlovedforsolong?IfhisunclesNlllovedher,howcouldWilleverdothat?HowcouldJaneverlovehim?

Helookedacrossthetableathisdad.Maltriednottoshowanyexpression,buthecouldn’tkeepthesmileoffhisfaceenNrely.
Willlookedaway.Hehadalwayswantedhisdadtotakehimseriously.Lookathimnow.Couldhebetakenanymoreseriously?
WhenWillthoughtaboutsayingno,hedidn’tthinkhecoulddothat,either.WillhadwantedtobetheheireversincehefirststartedtothinkaboutchoosinghisaspiraNon.Howcouldhegivethatup?HowcouldhegivethatuptoSabriel?She’dprobablyyellathimalltheNmewhensheactuallygotcontrol—

Hecouldn’tletSabrielbetheheir,andhedidn’tloveanyoneelse.Whatelsewashesupposedtodo?
“Yes.I’lldoit.”
“Areyousure?”Malasked.“Wedon’twanttoforceyouintothis.”
“Yeah.Iam,”Willsaid.“IsNllwanttobetheheir,andifit’sthebestthingforthefamily…”Helookedaroundthetable.“ThenI’llmarryher.”
Hehopedhe’ddonetherightthing.
“Whileyou’rehere,”Chrissaid,“there’sonemorethingwehavetoexplaintoyou.”
SheproceededtoexplaintohimabouthowAlaynewasSansaandtryingtosupplantthem.Willhadhearditoncebefore,andhesNlldidn’treallybelieveit,buthewonderediftherewassomethingtoitnowthathismomhadboughtintothestory.
AndjustaOerthat,JulianmadethecalltotalktoJan.
AssoonasArthurgothomefromschool,heheadedforthephoneandcalledupRicky.Hewasn’treadyforcollegeyet,soArthurwantedtosaygoodbyeoutsideoftheschoolwheretherewasn’tapolicyaboutpublicdisplaysofaffecNon.ThenhesatdowntoreadwhilehewaitedandwentoutsidetogreetRickyaOerseeinghimarrivefromthewindow.
“Heythere!”Arthursaid,mimickingSabriel’sfinger‐gungesturebecausehefeltlikeit.
Rickylaughed.“Heyyourself!”
“What’sup?”Arthursmiled.“Andhowcomeyou’renotgoingtocollege?I’llmissyouthere.”
Rickyshrugged.“Ijustdon’tfeellikeI’mreadytogrowupyet.”Hedidn’tevenrealizeunNlamomentaOerhestoppedspeakingthathewassmiling.ItwasjustsoeasytosmilebackatArthur.
“Well,Iwishyou’dcomewithme,”Arthursaid.“ButIguessifyoudon’thavetogrowup,thenthere’snoreasonwhyyoushould…”
“Exceptmaybeifit’llkeepthegirlsaway,”Rickyjoked.
Arthurnodded.“Speakingofwhich…”
“Yes?”
“I…”
“Yes?”Rickylookedlikehewasabouttocrackup.
SoArthurdecideditwasagoodNmetoshutupandkissRicky.
“HowlonghaveyoubeenwanNngtodothat?”Rickyasked.
“Since…notthatlongaOerImetyou.”
Unfortunately,Arthurcouldn’tsethisstudiesaside,buthecouldchatwithRickywhilehedidso.
“Isthisasboringasitlooks?”Rickyasked.
“Yes,”Arthuranswered.“I’mnotevensurewhatI’mstudyingrightnow.Thewordsalllookthesame.Oh—Ithinkit’screaNvity.”
“Youcan’tblamemefornotwanNngtogotocollege.”Heleanedback.
WillfoundhimselfsiWngnexttoBriEanyatthemahjongtableandlookingatherwithoutbeingabletothinkofanythingtosay.HisunclelovedBriEany.Theyweregoingtobehappy.Sowhywassheoneofthelastpeoplewhohewouldhavewantedtositwithatthemahjongtablerightnow?She’dalwaysseemedpleasantenough.
“Iknowthisprobablyisn’tsomethingyouexpected—memarryingyouruncle,”BriEanyobserved,awarethatshewastechnicallygoingtobeWill’saunt.
“Probably?”Willasked.“Idon’tknowwhatIexpected,butit’sbeenalongNmesinceI’vebeenhere.Ofcoursesomething’schanged.”Morethansomething.
WillturnedhisfaceawayfromBriEanysoshecouldn’tseethetearswellingup.
WhenJancameover,thetwoofthemsatdownatthethresholdofthehousetotalk,andJulianexplainedwhateveryonehadbeentalkingabout:thediscussionofmarryinghertoWill,thedecisiontoletthetwoofthemdecide,Julian’sengagementtoBriEany,andWill’sdecision.
“You’rebreakingupwithme?”JanaskedJulian.
“Yes,”Juliansaid,nottryingtosidestepthequesNon.He’dbeenhopingthathemagicallywouldn’thavetoexplainthis.“Ilove—IsNllloveyou.ButIneverwantedtomakemoreofacommitmenttoyou,andIdidn’tthinkyoudid,either.Andthenthiscamealong,andIrealizedIdidwanttobewithoneperson—”
“Atleastyoutoldme.”Jandidn’twanttohearanymore.ShetriedtokeepheremoNonsoffherface.“Butifyoudidn’tthinkIwasthemarryingkind,thenwhyexactlydoyouthinkIshouldmarryyournephew?”
“I’mnotgoingtotrytopersuadeyou,”Juliansaid.“ButIwillsayit’sthechanceyou’vealwayswantedtostopcomingupwiththeoriesandstartpuWngyourideasintopracNce.”
Jangottoherfeettothinkaboutthat.Julianmighthavebeenaprick,buthehadagoodpoint.Ifshejoinedthefamily,shewouldhaveanopportunitythatnooneatherlabhadevergivenher:thechancetotranslatesomeofherideasfornewtechnologiesintoreality.HersuperiorshadalwayssaidthattheywerejustfantasycontrapNons,butJanknewthatshecouldmakethemachinethatputeveryoneintoabeEermoodareality.She’djustbeentooafraidtodoitonherownandrisklosingherjoboverit.Andifshetookthischance,themostpowerfulfamilyinWinterfellwouldbackherup.
Sherealizedthatshewassmilingandtriedtomakeherselfstop.
“I’lldoit,”shetoldJulian.
AOerall,shehadnothingrightnowbesidesajobwherepeopledidn’ttakehertheoriesseriously.SomethingwasbeEerthannothing.
“Great.”JulianhuggedJan.“Youwon’tregretit.Ihopethiswillmakeyouhappy.”

“You’lllikeWill,”JulianassuredJan.“He’sagreatkid.”
Maybehewas.Buthewasakid.
Shedecidedtohitthebooks.AOerall,shewasherebecauseshehadajobtodo.Mightaswellgetonwithit.
Sabrielhadbeendemoted.

Therewentanotheroneofherplans—thisonewasforimpressingthescholarshipcommiEeewithherworkexperienceandherinterestinpoliNcs.Itwasalessimportantplanthanbecomingtheheir,butSabrielhadn’tneededanythingelsetogowrong.
Luckily,thedownstairssinkwasbroken,whichmeantSabrielcouldtakeitoutonsomething.
“Takethat!”shescreamed.“YouAREalying,cheaNngcrook,anddon’tyoutrytoconvincemeorANYONEELSEotherwise!Idon’tknowwhyanyoneworksforyou!”
Unfortunately,Arthurseemedtoberight:thiswasn’tactuallyworkingtofixthesink.AndeventhoughhiWngstuffcouldbereallyfun,shewasn’taccomplishinganythingbesidesgeWngwet.

“Didyoudoit?”Sabrielasked.
“Dowhat?”
“AreyougoingtomarryJan?”ItwasprobablyastupidquesNon.Otherwise,herparentswouldhavecometoherbeforenow,butnoonehadseenfittofillherin.Theywereprobablyscared.Theyshouldhavebeen.
“Yes,”hesaid.“Believeitornot,Idocareaboutthisfamily.”
“Youdidn’thavetodothat,”Sabrielsaid.ShehadtoadmitthatshewaskindofimpressedthatWillhaddoneit,though.
“Yes.Ididhaveto.”
Thiswasn’twhatWillhadexpectedwhenhehadthoughtaboutbeingtheheirasakid,though.Whatifitcouldhavebeendifferent?Itdidn’tmaEer.Hehadmadehischoice,andnowhehadtolivewithit.
“Fine,”Sabrielsaid.“God,I’msoreadytostartcollege.Youhavenoidea.”
“You’regoingearly,then?”Willaskedasthelightstartedtofall.Hewasn’tsurewhathethoughtofthat.
“OfcourseIam,”Sabrielsaid.“I’mboredoutofmymind.There’snothingleOtodohere.”
Shelookeddifferentinthedark.Infact,Sabrielalmostlooked—vulnerable?No,thatcouldn’tbeit.
“Igetthat,”Willsaid.“And—justholdon.”Thatwaswhathewasdoing.
“Idon’tneedyourpity,”SabrielmuEeredfromacrossthetable.
“What?”
“Nothing.”
Upstairs,BrandonapproachedLilytotalkabouthisplans.Heknewhewasn’tgoingtoliveforever,andbecauseLilywasimmortalandwasworkingherwayupinhisorganizaNon,hewantedhertotakeoverastheLawofWinterfell.“Iwantedtoknowhowworkwasgoingforyou,”hesaid.“BecauseI’vegotalotofplans.Eventhoughthat‘takeCarethattheLawsbefaithfullyexecuted’provisionseemstobefallingbythewayside…”

“Allright,”Willsaid.“SeeyoubackatOldtown.”
Foronce,hereflected,heactuallywantedtogobacktohishouse.
ButinsteadofsiWngatthechesstable,hedecidedtogetupthenervetointroducehimselftoJan.
Shehadcookedporkchops,soWilltookaplateandsatdownatthetablenexttoher,thentookabite.“Thesearedelicious,”hesaid.“Wheredidyougettherecipe?”
“Fromoneofyourmom’scookbooks,”Jansaid.Shestaredatherfood,thenputdownherfork.“Excuseme.”
Whatwashedoingwrong?
