My dad had to come out during my first easter egg hunt to tell me to look for eggs on the ground. I figured eggs were in nests, which were in trees, so I was looking up and not at all the eggs hidden in the grass and bushes.

While I like Callum, I think I sympathetize more with the Pactrids. I was driving to visit a sick relative last weekend and drove past a patch of land that obviously used to house trees, but there was nothing left but stumps and branches. It probably used to be beautiful. And now it's just gone.
I would have set my car alarm off if it were me. I've had mine go off accidentally multiple times and it's the most obnoxious and loud thing I've ever heard.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I like Alex and Derek together in their new relationship as well.
