Thanksgiving Meal

The afternoon went slowly with plenty of time for relaxing, watching TV, and reminiscing. But finally the big meal was ready. Tammy proudly announced that Thanksgiving dinner was ready and called everyone into the formal dining room.

There was a lovely spread of food. There was mashed potatoes, green beans, corn on the cob, rolls, green bean casserole, dressings, and a plethora of other tasty foods with the Turkey in the center of the room. A side table had all kinds of sweets and plenty of sweet tea and soda to make a diabetic want to check their blood sugar by just being in proximity.

Everyone gathered around the table, Tommy said an impromptu prayer adequate of a Southern household and everyone began to enjoy the food.

As the chatter and laughter continued Leah felt a sock covered foot brush up against her foot then her shin. She looked across the table at Jonathan. Surely it was just an accident. Tommy was sitting at the head of the table to her left and Luke across from her to the right of Jonathan.

Leah brushed the incident off as incidental contact. But it happened again. This time the foot lingered on her shin and she felt the toes seemingly attempt to kneed her shin and work their way down to her foot. She gave Jonathan a sideways look--but one with a naughty hint to it.

Jonathan played it cool and simply gave her a smile back.
