Chapter 10
"Everyone back here for family dinner tomorrow?" Maxine asked putting the dishes away.
"Yup!" Kyle said, "I have a change in shift tomorrow so I'll be here early for Thanksgiving dinner."
"Wonderful. Vincent?" Maxine asked her youngest son.
"Ummm…yeah. I'll be here," Vincent mumbled taking a sip of his drink.
"Hey, why don't you bring your girlfriend?" Peter joked.
"Peter!" Gillian said slapping him on the arm.
"Ow!" he yelled.
"You have a girlfriend"?" Amy questioned surprised.
"Do you, Vincent?" Maxine asked.
"Look, she's not my girlfriend," Vincent commented.
"That's what you say," Kyle replied putting a plate away.
"She's just some girl who's a student that works in the coffee shop that I sometimes talk to."
"That doesn't just sound like 'some girl' to me," Maxine commented.
"Is she nice?" Lauren asked.
"Yes. She is nice."
"Is she pretty?"
"LAUREN!" Amy yelled as Vincent remained silent.
"Well, Vincent," Maxine began to ask, "Do you get along with her?"
"Well, yeah."
"Does she have a name?"
"Yeah, it's Laura Mitchell."
"Hmmm…sounds familiar. I can't quite figure it out though."
"There is a good chance you don't know her."
"Possibly so but still, I want to and I will. So ask her to come tomorrow."
"But-."
"Ask her if she has plans and if she doesn't, invite her here."
"Well, are you cooking?" Vincent asked Amy remembering of the last Thanksgiving he had with his family. Amy had decided to cook and the meal almost resulted into a disaster.
"That job was given back to Mom."
"In that case, okay. But please just stop calling her my 'girlfriend'," he said getting his coat. "Now, if you don't mind, I'm going back to my apartment."
"Don't forget to invite Donna and Ariadne too!" Maxine yelled out as Vincent waved and left the house.
"He got over Carole that quickly?" Amy asked.
"That's what we were wondering," Kyle said referring to him and Peter.
"Well," Maxine said smiling happily, "As long as he's happy and it is not with Carole. Then I approve."
She then left the kitchen and headed upstairs while she left the others to think to themselves.
