Maggie took her parents to all her favorite places that day. She gave them a tour of the almost deserted campus, she took them to her favorite coffee shop on the north side, she drove them into the city, and they wandered the streets like the tourists they were. She pointed out the dinner theater that Jess had discovered and told them that both Alex and Jess had taken her there for her birthday back in September.

By the time they got back to Turner House, all three were exhausted. Jess and Alex were channel surfing and announced that they were going to call out for pizza and asked what everyone wanted on it. Her parents smiled gratefully and said they had no preference as to toppings and then excused themselves to go upstairs and freshen up. Jess looked at Maggie as he pulled out his cell phone, and she told them it was true, the works or plain, her parents wouldn’t complain, and to order whatever they were in the mood for.

Jess wisely handed the phone over to her once it was ringing and told her to order, just in case. Laughing, Maggie took the phone from him and ordered a large supreme pizza and breadsticks with a variety of dipping sauces. She then gave Jess back his phone and plopped down on the end of the sofa, asking about their day.

“We cooked,” Alex said. “Tell us about yours, instead.”

So Maggie launched into a retelling of the places they had gone and the sights they had seen. “Did you know there is a tree-lighting ceremony in the center of town Friday night? Mom and Dad both said they’d like to see it. Will you two come?”

“Sure,” they replied automatically, unable to deny her anything.

“Cool. Mom wants to get an early start with her Black Friday shopping, so we’ll probably be back in the afternoon to take a nap, and then the five of us can head back out around five so we can catch the ceremony at seven.”

“Sounds like a plan. There’s this great bistro near the square that we can eat at,” Jess said. “I’ll call now and see if we can make reservations for around 8:00 p.m. so we don’t have to wait in line.”

“That sounds great,” Maggie enthused as she leaned over and kissed them both on the cheek before going into the kitchen to get paper plates and napkins for the pizza.
