Jack is facing a choice... in the chapter I just posted! And I hope he'll convince you that he's done a lot of growing up, too. And that was one possible future. Not the real one which Jack will make for himself and his beloved Theo and Vee.
Chapter Forty-Seven – Child of the Sun, Child of the Moon
Jack scooted closer to Vince. A chill had snuck inside him – how, he didn’t know, because he had so much fur to begin with – and it seemed like he couldn’t get warm no matter what he did. Vince was doing his best to lend him his body heat, but Jack was just short of having his teeth start to chatter.

Fluffy slippers, huh? What an interesting guess
The twins might be mysterious... but you'll see enough of Ali to draw your conclusions, while Felix will pop up here and there.
The planting of the book is one thread that will be continued and will matter. Lawrence will figure out, eventually, who it was.
Lawrence must find balance! It's the only way, but not the easy way.
