A Lifetime Together, Part 3: Dinner

Mary poured them wine. Jessica took the turkey from the oven and set it on the counter.

As Mary walked the glass to Jessica she stumbled and bumped the pan. The turkey slid off the counter and hit the floor. Jessica jumped back to avoid being splattered by stuffing.

“I’m sorry,” Mary gasped.

“You did that on purpose. You wanted to ruin everything.”

Mary’s eyes glared, defiantly. “Ruin what? Your overcooked turkey?”

Jessica raised her fist. Mary did the same. “Let’s go!”

They burst out laughing.

“I’ll order Chinese.”

“Probably for the best.”

They smiled and drank in good health.
