## History

### *Winter's Tales*

#### *Choosing Paths*

"*Come inside, darlings! Oh, Winterlyn, I have some snacks for you to eat if you're hungry. The rest of the fam should be arriving soon.*"
—Debbie welcoming Winter and her family inside

Debbie sends a letter to Winter and her parents, inviting them over to her house for a family reunion. They accept after some consideration and make the drive out to Spokane, and after parking, Winter runs up to the door and rings the doorbell. Debbie emerges, excited, and glancing down at Winter, she comments that she's grown from the last time she saw her at the hospital. Winter greets her, hugging her, and Lorelei introduces her to her daughter as her sister, Debbie. She says hello to the latter, who hugs her tightly, asking her how she feels and if her lupus is bothering her. Lorelei responds that not much has changed, but Winter has been growing as any child should. Her eyes flitting to Edwin, Debbie asks how he's been doing, accidentally flustering him and causing Winter to cringe. He puffs that he's fine, and Debbie tightly hugs him, only adding to his minimal discomfort. She then invites Winter and her family inside, offering beef buns to Winter and mentioning that the others should be arriving soon. She grabs a small plate of beef buns from the kitchen, and eating one, Winter loves the taste. She praises Debbie for her cooking, and thanking her, Debbie tells her to go sit in the living room, thinking that Lorelei will want her wine (which she does). Soon, the doorbell rings, and Debbie opens it to greet her sister, Bonnie, and Edwin's sister, Jodie.

She hugs and welcomes them, offering them beef buns and saying that she'll start dinner soon. When Bonnie goes to the fridge, Debbie shouts that she better not throw out the mayonaise that she purchased from Safeway days ago. She ends up throwing out a jar of marmalade, making her sigh. After Edwin's mother causes a disruption, Lorelei mutters to her sisters, each holding glasses of wine, that her husband is going to throw a fit and make her call the wall people. Later, a little while after all of the relatives arrive, Debbie declares that dinner is finished, and Lorelei mentions to Winter that Debbie made mac n' cheese for her and her cousins. Once Winter and her mother finish dinner, Lorelei tells her that she'll help her sisters and Jodie clean the kitchen, heading off to do so. When Lewis is exposed for trying to give Winter alcohol, Debbie is shocked, but silently agrees with Pierre that Winter is a more reliable source for evidence than Lewis.

#### *Dawn Will Bring Us Death*

When Lorelei dies, Debbie attends her funeral with her sister and brother, with each sharing a joint eulogy that cherishes Lorelei for being the leader of the siblings and showcases her acceptance of them for who they were.

#### *Return of Snowlight*

"*But now, in the years following that, I've learned of your full story and what you've done. My niece, I am so incredibly proud of you and your accomplishments, and you've made me exceptionally glad that you've carried on a piece of my sister in you throughout your journey. You are an incredible young woman.*"
