The boy who made my school years hell is my parents' favorite electrician. And I just blew their fuses.
ALEXANDER
I'm a New York astronomer, home for a week because Higbee's mayor asked me by name to speak at the Northern Lights festival.
My parents don't know it's also a trial run: the observatory outside town wants to hire me.
Day one, I run into Levi Lennox. He didn't even have the decency to get ugly.
Worse, I've had a crush on him since high school, and it never faded. Neither did my anger.
Then Mama says he fixed the wiring and set up their computer, and it's like he's taken my place.
When my telescope blacks out the house, of course Papa calls Levi, and ten years of anger pour out.
LEVI
I'm the town electrician, and I've never left Higbee.
I'm also the guy who made Alexander Xenaki miserable, because my dad drank and I've always hidden a secret: when I read, the words turn into a jumbled mess. Picking on Alexander kept people from noticing.
None of that excuses it, so after his blowup I buy him a cake that says "I'm sorry."
On festival night, the mayor is stuck in traffic, and Alexander can't face the town without an introduction. So he shoves the mayor's speech into my hands and begs me to read it, sure they'll listen to me like they always have.
But the letters are already scrambling.
For once, Alexander Xenaki doesn't know everything.
