“Mmmm. You smell like gravy.” Brian nosed Mo’s hair out of his way and nuzzled her neck.

Her hand went still, and she closed her eyes, savoring the touch. In the days he’d been home, he could hardly stand to be more than five feet from her. Which was fine and dandy with her. If she had her way, they’d never yet have got out of bed.

He was even helping with Thanksgiving dinner while Uncle Dave, Lenny, Robby, and Paul watched a football game in the living room.

Well, he was ‘helping.’ Mainly by distracting Mo from her work with caresses and kisses.

“Ach, you two!” Aunt Bridie complained. “Brian, the gravy’ll be lumpy if you don’t get your paws off her.”

He stepped back with a chuckle, and Mo got back to making the roux for the gravy. “Sorry, Bridie. What can I do?”

“You can go with the men and let the women work, is what. You’re in the way, lad.”

Faye piped up, “Actually, we need the leaf in the table. Is it still in the garage?”

While Brian had been away, his family had joined her own. More than their marriage had connected them all; they’d bonded tightly in their shared worry and melancholy. Brian had been an empty place in all their lives, and they’d filled it with each other. So Faye had some familiarity with the workings of this house, and the Quinns knew the Kemper house, too.

Mo thought Faye Kemper was the first true friend Aunt Bridie had ever had in Oklahoma.

“It is,” her aunt agreed. “There. Something for you to do. Go be useful—the leaf and the topper, too. You can put it all together as well—and be a wee love and get the big crystal bowl down from the top shelf in the china hutch, please, while you’re in there.”

“Yes, ma’am.” Before he left the kitchen, Brian turned Mo around and kissed her good and proper.

Faye laughed. “Oh come on, Bridie. That’s worth a few lumps in the gravy, don’t you think?”

“I think so,” Brian answered and sauntered toward the garage.
