"Isn't it?" I agree, spearing another few green beans with my fork. "The turkey is amazing. I thought I was liable to die in the kitchen earlier with how good it smelled. If this dinner had been scheduled any later, there's a good chance I would've eaten one of them all by myself."

I pop the green beans into my mouth, smiling as I chew, and wipe at my mouth with the corner of my napkin. "You gonna hang around and help us clean up after?" I ask, mostly teasing as I give him a quick wink.
