i will make any day work if you’re going to make that pumpkin crunch dessert Lil
Liliana
I’ll make a spreadsheet so we can organize potluck details. What about the boys?
What is a potluck?
Princess
it just means we’re all going to bring one dish instead of paying for someone to cook
we can bring adobo and lumpia :)
Liliana
Does this mean you guys are free any day?
If it’s a dinner, yes.
Derek
except thanksgiving of course
A small smile makes its way onto my face. I don’t think Derek knows yet that McCarthy kids don’t really have holiday obligations. That’s okay. Through time of us being friends, he’ll learn. Maybe one day, it won’t be Billie, Grant, and I having a Thanksgiving dinner, just the three of us.
Rosie invited me to spend the day with her family and meet her parents. Grant was invited to Liliana’s too. It may have been in my best interest to meet my partner’s family as soon as possible, but Billie’s never been without options on Thanksgiving. She’s either spent it silently at home with me, or as AJ’s plus one with his family.
My brother and I both agreed that this year, we’d have a holiday with just the three of us. After explaining it to Rosie and Liliana, they agreed, too.
I have around a month to prepare myself for a Mendoza family Christmas, at least.
Grant
I know it’s the day after, but does Friday work for everyone?
Princess
yes!
Derek
for sure
Billie
you’ve got three yeses, you’re moving onto the next round
I roll my eyes at my sister’s bad pop culture references. Ghost purrs—the dog has been called to the back, thankfully—and I type the best I can with my free hand.
Anything you need help with?
Liliana
Set-up wise, we should be okay.
