    Even Sam isn't dense enough to know that the way Lyle stumbles over himself, asks him for kisses with no prompting, face full of pitiful desperation, isn't normal.

    Jillian knows now that it is a thousand times worse when the monsters are real.

    Summary

    Helen doesn’t have a maternal bone in her body: she can’t stand being around kids, much less wants any of her own.

    But this polite child with a painfully relatable face mutation—she hates to admit—is kinda growing on her.

    Aka some fluffy vignettes of Hellen begrudgingly accepting Joel, then Joel permanently changing her name.
