Chapter 1
"November 26, 2000-Something…. It was the day before Thanksgiving. Since we were holding a parade in Jenkintown, Emily and I were hard at work in my kitchen preparing Thanksgiving dinner."
Jeff stuck his hand up the turkey to pull out the giblets.
"I always hate this part," Jeff said.
"Me too," Emily said. "That's why I'm having you do it."
After Jeff pulled out the giblets, he looked at the time on the microwave clock.
"Oh," Jeff said. "It's 5:30. I need to go pick up my mother from the airport."
"I really hope your mother likes me," Emily said.
"She will," Jeff said.
"I sure hope you're right," Emily said.
Jeff washed his hands, gave Emily a kiss, and walked out the door as Logan entered the house. Logan entered the kitchen as Emily continued to mix the mashed potatoes with the butter.
"Hey, Emily," Logan said.
"What up, Little Brother?" Emily asked.
"I was wondering if you needed any help," Logan said.
"Thanks, but no," Emily said. "I don't want a repeat of the Halloween cookies."
"I put out the fire before it could spread," Logan said.
"No," Emily said. "Why don't you go hang out with your boyfriend?"
"Okay," Logan said.
