Thanksgiving was two weeks away. I’d made up my mind I was going to host it yet again. Yes, there were questions. Especially considering so many people had changed in the group. But it looked as though Maggie would be able to make it. Her mother couldn’t cook for beans so she avoided it at all cost. With Maggie as an only child, Mrs. Morrow didn’t have Thanksgiving and usually ate leftovers from my house. Liz was a fixture when it came to meals at my place. She knew who buttered her bread the best. Typically she was flying solo during Thanksgiving so she wouldn’t have to meet anyone’s parents she was currently dating. But now, with Rick, she told him under no circumstances were they doing this meal anywhere else but my house. Luckily his parents were okay with it and arranged their meal for Saturday. It worked out for someone else in his family to have it that way, anyway. Rose was so excited with how the attendees were shaping up. I’d written down the list and placed it on the fridge next to the menu. She missed the regular monthly meals and seeing everyone.

“Is Carter coming, Mommy? I don’t think his name is on the list. I don’t see the letter C.”

“I’m not sure, Rose. He’s been so busy lately.” In fact, since bringing my keys home that night, Carter had said very little to me. I had Uncle Pete take me to pick it up the next day. Carter had the battery charged enough for me to have no problems starting it and bringing it home.

“Can I call and ask him?”

“Sure.” I dialed the number and handed her the phone.

I stirred the oatmeal and waited to hear her side of the conversation. “Hi, Carter.” She looked at the phone strangely.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

“He’s talking. But it makes no sense.”

She handed it to me. I put it to my ear and heard his voicemail come on. I hung up before it beeped.

“I’ll ask him when I go to school today, pumpkin.”

“Is Alex and June coming?” She pointed to the list with her question.

“No, Alex is flying to Florida to be with his family. He said they have a very big meal. Everyone comes—aunts, uncles, and cousins.”

Since that night I locked myself out and we kissed, Alex had been sort of different. I invited him and June over a few times and we ate; he helped with the dishes, then they left. I almost had to wonder whether that night even happened. Maybe it was a fluke. Maybe there was a full moon. Who knows? We haven’t so much as grazed arms and I’m not sure why. I don’t feel like he’s avoiding me. It’s just different.

“Don’t forget to ask Carter. And tell him to bring his pretty girlfriend if he wants. We have plenty to eat, don’t we, Mommy?”

I smeared on a smile Rose would believe and nodded. “You know it, girl.”
