Summary
And so it has sat, untouched, in a small, nondescript shoe box atop his wardrobe for almost a decade now. Mostly forgotten beneath the tides of everyday life, but pulling at his conscious in those darkest and stormiest nights when his wife next to him had long fallen asleep.
Now the sight of it, with its embossed spine reading "Memories" in a swirly, delicate font and the frayed stitching along its edges, makes his hands tremble.
"What are ya lookin' at, Dad?"
"The past."
---
The day after the events of The Creak In The Attic, John and Junior reminisce about the past.
It's short and sweet and sad. I am giving this man so many issues.

Summary
"John." Alice's voice has taken on that iciness John has been hearing way too much of these past few months. "Don't get snippy with me. It's not my fault he had to grow up here."
John swallows the bitter taste creeping up the back of his throat.
She's right, of course. The only reason it took so long for them to move was John's own attachment to his hometown. Even if it is loud and crowded and way too expensive.
He's silent for a moment, at a loss for words.
Recently it seems he's forgotten how to talk to the woman he loves.
---
All things in canon point to John and Alice's marriage going anything but well. So I had to write a fic about it.
