Preston Beckett had received a call from his brother asking him to move back to BG. After talking to his daughters he agrees. He arrives at his brother's house. He rings the bell.
Hannah-Beth answers it.
"Uncle Preston!" she says hugging him. "Dad! Mom! Uncle Preston is here."
"Must you yell Hannie?" he asks

Amy comes to the door, having just finished her shift at the vet's office.
"Preston! So good to see you!" She gives him a hug. Amy has not moved back with Spencer officially yet, but is working out the details so her brothers can help her move.
She remembers him being with them when Amy got the call that Dawn had died. Isaiah had not been born until that May, but at the time Amy had thought she was going into labor from the shock. Then, at the funeral, Preston had said he had been going to propose to Dawn. She hadn't seen him since shortly thereafter, when he told them he was moving.
"So... how are things?" She is not really sure what to say, wondering if all the memories have hit him, like they're hitting her right now.

"I am good right now. It hasn't kicked in that I am back here yet." he says.
HE is hoping that the memories of his past don't hit him in full force.

"We're here...when it does." she says. "In the meantime, I made a call to an old friend a few days ago, and she may stop by later." She is not sure Preston will remember Pria, the book editor from Massachusetts, who moved to BG a year or so after he left.

"I know that you guys will be." He says before smiling at her. "you and my brother trying to set me up? Not that I mind. It would be good to be around someone not in my squad."

"It depends on how it goes- but regardless, you may like her. She moved here about a year after you left and worked in the bookstore for awhile. Her name is Priscilla Jewell, but she goes by Pria. She works at the magazine now. She was originally from Massachusetts."

She nods. "Seph Wilkins is an electrician. He might need some help- one person can't do it all. I'll give you his number," she says.
