“Nah,” I answer.
“Me neither. Thanks for the invite though!”
Max grins. “Of course! Y’all stay out of trouble!” With that, he disappears down the hall and into his bedroom.
“I’ll see you later tonight, hon’,” Celeste says to me, then heads out the door.
As the door shuts behind Celeste, I nudge Oliver’s shoulder with my leg. “You can come sit up here, weirdo.”
“Ugh, fine,” Oliver grumbles. “But I think I’ve gotten better playing down here.”
“I highly doubt that.”
About halfway through a round, Oliver pauses the game. “Dude, what is up with your phone? It hasn’t stopped vibrating for like three entire minutes.”
I frown, pulling it out to check, then I groan.
“What?”
“Sorry, it’s my family. My sister-in-law added me to the group chat to discuss Thanksgiving dinner plans.”
“Oh yeah, I guess that’s coming up, isn’t it?” Oliver says, leaning back against the cushions. “Do you have to make food?”
“I guess I have to read to find out.”

Susan and Bill are handling the turkey, and Lisa and David are bringing ham and drinks. Brian and I are bringing green bean casserole and grilled asparagus. Susan also mentioned that DEADNAME has a tasty pumpkin pie, and Taylor wants to make her famous mashed potatoes. That leaves pretty much everything else! Who wants to bring what?
Steph B
Cody and I will bring mac-n-cheese and dinner rolls, because that’s all Brooke is really eating right now anyway
Ashlynn F
Austin and I will cover stuffing and cranberry sauce!
Taylor G
Danny and I can also make gravy to go with the potatoes, and anything else we might need

Great! So, we have turkey, ham, green bean casserole and asparagus, mashed potatoes w/ gravy, mac-n-cheese, dinner rolls, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie.
And drinks.
Anything else?

DEADNAME, you wanna handle desserts? Maybe cookies in addition to the pie?
“Looks like I’m handling the dessert,” I say aloud, typing out a response.
“Nice!” Oliver replies. “You should make those snickerdoodle cookies again. Remember those? God, they were so good.”
I snicker. “Yeah, maybe.”
