Let There Be Suspects
““Well, I’d say overall, things went well. Almost nobody saw Sid slam Ginger into the eggnog. Only one gift caught fire when the lights short-circuited, and that was Nan’s toothpick holder. Plus people cleared out of here so fast that there are more leftovers than I’d expected. Nobody will have to make lunch for the rest of the reunion.”
Sid’s head was in her hands. Between moans she’d drained two cups of coffee and was well into her third. Clearly I was not the only one who’d experienced a slee...pless night.
Vel was at the stove making more pancakes on the off chance my girls felt safe enough to come downstairs at some point. Ed was already next door choosing between “Joy to the World” and “Oh Come All Ye Faithful” for the Christmas Eve processional. Bix was wherever Bix disappears to. My theory? Old Bix likes to pretend we are really an offshoot of the Kennedy or Bush clans. He needs a lot of distance for this.
“Aggie, I said I was sorry yesterday. About a thousand times.”MoreLess
