I had to be honest

I didn’t give a fuck about Thanksgiving

Mostly because she wantedto dinner Not only did I think that was a complete non-starter for obvious reasons, but I also assumed she planned to spend the holiday with her own family

Hell, I’d rather spend it with her family

Her family was crazy, but not as bad as mine

I stopped into the café and grabbed two coffees, then walked down the street to Bookworm’s Books The board outside today said, ‘You’d look better with a book in your hand’

I chuckled to myself and put the coffee tray in led, then there was a clunk and so hit me in the bed

“Ow!”

Holley’s head poked out from behind a bookshelf “Are you okay?”

“No I think your bell just attacked me”

“My bell?” She looked up “Oh For fuck’s sake, not again!” She came out from behind the bookshelf and set a pile of books on the counter “Saylor was supposed to fix that”

I put the coffees down as she grabbed the bell fro with it?”

“It’s old,” she replied “It’s been wobbly for a couple of weeks, but I think the chain finally broke”

“Here, let ly heavy, and a quick search of the bell and the chain it hung fro the chain betweenup”

Holley leaned in “Damn it Hoe do that?”

“You use soether”

“I don’t have pliers”

Sighing, I handed her back the bell “Give rab some, then come fix it for you”

“You don’t have to do that I can call my dad Or Josh or Colton or Kai”

I raised an eyebrow “I’m here, aren’t I? It’s a simple job”

She opened her ave up “Oh, fine I’d offer to go, but I have Tegan in the back room”
