I nod when Molly says it must be hard for me. What's the point in lying? It's probably the most hard part about being in Darrow. I can deal with strange new technology, I can deal with different fashions, I can even deal with the idea of vampires and werewolves being real even if it's a bit terrifying. But being without my kids is very unusual and makes me feel like everything is a little less real. It's been a long time since I heard my sons' voices.
I hope I never forget what they sound like. If I'm here too long, maybe their voices will even start to sound different.
"Well, if you have a boy, I can give you lots of advice and tips on how to keep him in line. Actually, if you have a girl, I might have some ideas, too..." I say, thinking of Evan. He's the baby of the family, and my husband and I decided we would not have kids after him. That means many of the things we wanted to do with a daughter, we basically did with Evan instead. I think this is why he gets along so well with Deidre and the other ladies in the neighborhood.
"But okay, election in six months. That makes sense, it's right around Founder's Day, right? I haven't been here for that yet but I read about it," I say. "You really think that I can pull together a campaign in that amount of time? How should I get started?"
