Jack

Ours was great but not as interesting as Max’s…

Wells

Oh reeeaaalllyyyy. Maxwell? Speak up, I can’t hear you all the way down under here.

Me

I don’t think that’s how the phrase works, man. But yeah, interesting is a word for it. I’d even go as far as to say today was a really good day.

Wells

yeah? That’s great, Max. I was thinking about you guys with it kicking off the first holiday season after… everything.

Me

Appreciate that. I could say the same for you and Tinsley though. Did you guys get torelax a bit? She works nonstop.

Jack

She absolutely should have taken more time off. She works way too hard; she needed more time off

Wells

ha! That’s rich coming from you, man. If you tell my darling sister that, can I witness it, please?!

Wells

But seriously, we had a good holiday and it was nice to have some down time between her shows. Always a bit weird to celebrate a holiday where the locals don’t partake in the festivities but I’m not mad about the Aussie sunshine. Allie, Tinsley, and I had a low-key day, we had way too much food catered in and watched movies. It was great.

Me

How are the girls feeling? Is everything still healing alright for Tinsley?

Jack

Tinsley is a warrior.

Wells

Ahem. I think he was asking her brother, but yeah she’s amazing. Still a long way to go but we’ll get there.Allie is doing well overall, they’re both seeing therapists and doing the work to heal in all the ways. It’s going to take time.

Wells

But back to your Thanksgiving, what made it so good?

Me

Honestly? Broken ovens and hidden pantries.

Wells

wait what?

Jack

Lol not the response I expected.
