Chapitre 31: Chapter 31: Thanksgiving Holiday

Thanksgiving at Casey’s new house was a busy, cheerful affair.  John and Casey had bought the three-bedroom, two-bath house a few months earlier and had finished furnishing it just in time for the holiday.  She and John had invited Maggie and Ben, Kevin, and Des and Jacob to stay for the weekend.

Sleeping arrangements had been studiously organized.  Obviously, Des and Jacob were in the guest bedroom.  Ben and Kevin shared the living room, one on the sofa and one on the floor.  Maggie was given an air mattress on the floor of the home office, but she didn’t mind.  She was grateful that she had a private space; anyone seeing her neck would undoubtedly require information she didn’t feel like giving.
