let me know so I can call the restaurant and adjust the reservation.
    Was she serious? Why didn’t she just send out a formal invitation with a card to RSVP? I didn’t know why anything that she did surprised me. A normal mother would have apologized for the way she had treated me that day. Actually, a normal mother would never have treated her daughter the way that she did, or said the things that she had said to me. I quickly hit delete. I didn’t plan on having Thanksgiving with her and her husband, and I didn’t even plan on responding. I would be perfectly fine spending the day alone. It had crossed my mind to maybe volunteer to go into work so I would at least have my patients to spend the holiday with, but the thought of having three consecutive days off trumped that thought.
    I threw my phone on the bed and headed into the kitchen to heat up dinner. When I opened my bedroom door, I laughed at the obscenities coming from Will and his friends.
    “Man, I wanted to fuck that chick sideways. She was -.” Adam stopped himself, looking a little startled when he saw me entering the kitchen. “Ah, sorry, Gabby.” Adam was so adorable, in a little boy sort of way. If I had to guess, I would say that he was no taller than 5’8”. His dark brown hair matched his deep brown eyes, and he looked to be about fifteen and not in his late twenties.
    “Oh, that’s okay. Don’t mind me.” They all became quiet as I went into the fridge to get my dinner. I decided that I would break up the silence. The last thing I wanted was for them to feel uncomfortable because I was here.
    Quickly turning around from the refrigerator, I watched as they took their eyes off my ass and instantly looked back at their cards. “So, Adam, how exactly does that work?” I asked, popping my dinner into the microwave.
    “Huh?” He looked confused.
    “Fucking a girl sideways? Is that because your -.” I cleared my throat. “You know, your thingy down there is too small to do it any other way?”
    Tim choked on the sip of beer that he had just taken, while Will and Brian tried to catch their breath from laughter. I stood there, waiting for an answer.
    “What?! No! It’s just a saying.” I could see his face turning red.
    I bent over and looked under the table at his feet. “If you say so,” I shrugged, turning back around to take my food out of the microwave.
    “You are cool as hell, Gabby!” Tim said.
    “Cool and a sweet ass… What can I say? I’m just blessed, I guess.”
    “You can sit on my lap and eat that if you’d like?” Peterson teased. Brian, on the other hand…or Peterson …definitely didn’t look like a little boy. He was good looking in a grown-up man way. He was about the same age as Will. His eyes weren’t the same shade of spell-binding blue as Will’s, but they were still pretty nice to look at.
    Will looked up from his cards and shot him a dirty look. “As tempting as that sounds, I think I’ll pass,” I smirked, taking my bowl of soup and going into the living room to watch TV.
    I sat on the couch and was happy to see that the Wedding Planner was on. Matthew McConaughey always put a smile on my face. I curled up under the blanket and tried my best to ignore the conversation going on in the other room as Will went into explicit detail about his latest sexual encounter a few days ago.
    I was just dozing off when Will and his friends woke me, yelling from the kitchen. I sat up and rubbed my eyes, and was just about ready to head into bed when Brian, Adam, and Tim came walking into the living room. “So, who won?” I asked, trying to sound awake.
    “Peterson,” Adam and Tim both said at the same time, not sounding very pleased.
    “What are you watching, Gabby?” Brian said, taking the seat next to me on the couch.
    “Oh, I was watching The Wedding Planner, but I actually fell asleep.”
    Will’s eyes narrowed as he walked out into the living room and saw Brian sitting next to me. “It’s late and
