It seemed like as soon as they arrived, Abby was being whisked off by Jennifer to go do...something. He hadn't really caught what, but he figured that it was good to leave them to it. He could totally mix and mingle with the fine citizens of Long Valley on his own.

"Want a lemonade or something?" Declan asked, appearing suddenly at his elbow.
Declan. He latched onto him. Here was someone he could hang out with and talk to. "Sure," he said with an overly bright smile.
"Be right back," Declan said, disappearing into the crowd.
Dammit. He didn't exactly want to be left behind, but he wasn't sure what else to do at that point. He also didn't want to follow his younger brother around like a lost puppy dog.
