I love the family warmth and emotion and that Hawken stood up for his wife. Y'know, sometimes, people just need someone to take charge, just to set things back on an even keel.
And Grey showing up, menacing yet accepted into the family as the stories were told. Warren finally smiling, all wonderful little glimpses into their lives. Great stuff!
I came over and read this on Christmas Eve but so much has gotten in the way in between, and I've not been able to get back. So today I re-read, and love this even more than I did the first time. It's got it all -- the family angst with her mum (and doesn't that type of thing always seem to escalate around the holidays?), the traditions, the assembling of the toys. Then there's Hawken's sweet excitement over the children and Grey Wolf's appearance.
