Joyce Falconer stood at Fair Acres' white gate, looking toward Wells while her family measured life by hay, stockings, and the next household errand. Daddy, may I come to Wells today? You step into this one-chapter preview with Joyce Falconer at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Let us go home before the light fails; tomorrow we read every page together. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
