Man-Berry Sauce · A Second Helpings Story

** *She's giving thanks that they're not together anymore ... or is she?* **

Caleb Wells and I are history. *Ancient* history.

Sure, I've loved him since I was a kid, and we were high-school sweethearts. Whatever. He dumped me with no warning months ago, and I am completely over it—*and* him.

But breaking up with Caleb doesn't mean I broke up with his family. I've known them my whole life, and when they invite me for Thanksgiving, I know this is one of the few days of the year I won't be able to avoid Caleb. I should say no, but they're my family, too, damn it.

I'll eat some turkey and pie, be civil to my ex, and hightail it home for some wine and Netflix—and maybe a good cry in a hot bath.

I can do this.

How hard can it possibly be?

*This is a quickie, Thanksgiving-themed short story, part of the Second Helpings series.*
