The Future Falls (2014)
“Allie looked up from strapping Evan into his high chair as Auntie Gwen came into the apartment. She didn’t seem angry. That was good. At least Allie thought it was good. She could think of a few reasons why an auntie would be that blasé about being left in the dark and they weren’t good.
“Charlotte not only took out the obvious charms,” Auntie Gwen continued, scooping Edward up as he ran for the door, “she went to the effort of finding and removing the hidden ones. And, as we both know, Cha...rlotte doesn’t do effort. They don’t call it playing music for nothing.”
