Summary
In the world they lived in, age was a marker of something more profound. You stopped aging when you hit twenty-one, and you didn’t start aging again until you met your soulmate. Joel was thirty-six and still got carded at the liquor store.
Sarah, his fourteen-year-old daughter, reminded him of that fact constantly.
“It’s kind of depressing, you know,” she said one morning, leaning against the kitchen counter, a bowl of cereal in her hands. She was wearing one of his old T-shirts that drowned her slender frame, her curls piled messily on top of her head. “You’ve looked the same my whole life. People probably think you’re my older brother.”

Summary
You’re the person in control of Jackson’s alcohol production and distribution.
You’ve been trying not to crush on Joel Miller, and having some time away to focus on producing some drinks for the winter dance in 2038 gives you some much needed time apart.

Either way, you need to keep away. Either way, he is a danger to the town.
