Once Tom had finally finished his article on the Seahawks/Cowboys game and had submitted it, he could finally focus on planning for his and Alice's visit to Alice's parents. She had said that they lived in a town called "Moon Lake", a town Tom remembered hearing about vaguely when he was investigating Ulysses.
"So...where is Moon Lake?" Tom asked Alice when he walked into their bedroom, finding Alice packing a suitcase.
"It's not too far from Seattle," Alice said. "It's a small town, so it's relatively quiet, but it's a great place to raise children. And since you're a were now, I'm able to tell you it's secret."
"Secret?"
"For hundreds of years, Moon Lake has been a sanctuary for weres of all kinds," Alice explained. "Anyone can live there, but they must vow to keep the secret and, if they own a family, volunteer a member to be the family were. That's what happened with my family, and I volunteered to be the family were at the time. My parents eventually decided to become weres once they found out they could live longer."
"Wow..." Tom said. "So there's going to be more weres in this town?"
"That there is," Alice said. "Trust me, you'll enjoy it a lot. We'll have a lot of fun." She then proceeded to wink and kiss Tom's cheek, hinting slightly at what she had planned.
