[ The press would only come if they caught wind that he returned. If her plan works as she intends? Alan would return with the FBC. It would be on his terms he announces he is back to the world. Scheduling press moments and announcing books would be all on his terms. They can contact his old agent and friend, Barry Wheeler, and ease him back into it all. Jesse doubts Alan ever wants much to do with the celebrity portion of writing ever again. He would probably just... want to write.

Her head tilts slightly as he cuts himself off. Something caught his attention and all she wonders if it's another threat. She smiles at him regardless. They can make their desires real now. They can start here, in what remains of the Oldest House.

Alice smiles gently at him. Debts repayed and her husband out of the Dark Place. She'll continue to give whatever information and guidance is needed when she can. But, now is the time for Alan to live. She was given the chance to after he freeded her from the Lake.

Now, it's his turn.

She huffs a laugh at their nose touching. The look in her eyes says she finds it an endearing gesture. She leans forward to press her forehead to his. Oh, she knows he loves her. She can feel how much he's missed her. A year for her probably felt like an additional eternity for him. How many stories has he tried since they stopped "Return"? How many more attempts will she never know about? He doesn't seem to have suffered the way he did between disappearing in 2010 and then 2023...

Jesse tilts her head, tempted to rest against his shoulder and just be held. There's work to be done an things to teach him and show him about not only their situation, but the Oldest House. Her life as Director. ]
