After a moment of silence, Miles Vaughn looked up at Joelle Finch and said seriously, "We want to go back with you."
Everyone else was stunned by his words. They hadn't realized Evelyn Ford and Ronan Kendrick were only back for a visit. For Miles Vaughn to suddenly say he wanted to leave as well... although they understood, they were still at a loss.
"Miles Vaughn, we've worked so hard to clear this land and plant crops. Life has finally stabilized. Why would you want to uproot your whole family and move now?"
Miles Vaughn stroked Rory's hair. "Back when Evelyn Ford and Ronan Kendrick were planning to leave, I actually wanted to take Joelle Finch back to Marris, too. But she was pregnant then and couldn't handle a long journey, so we postponed it. Now that Rory's grown up, I want to go home and see it again."
