Looking back, it's hard sometimes to separate out his own memories from everyone elses. The change came on so suddenly, and affected those among them with fae blood in so many different ways, that of course there was lots of talk and sharing and speculation and conversation.
But, in the night, when Joe is being honest with himself, and he takes the time to peel away what he thinks he remembers from what he knows to be true, he can admit to himself what it was like.
The glitter and the wings and the blue were all scary, surprising and new. But beneath the sudden terror and confuse there was only awe.
Joe had always known, deep down inside where lies never survive, that he was special. That his brothers were special. And now everyone else knew too.
