Chapter 91

• It was a White Christmas. After four years, the sidewalks were filled with the snow that fell in the morning. Michel watched the turkey grilling in the oven while Kate attended to the cranberry sauce. The two women chatted in the kitchen while Denzel and his father discussed plans to gain back the company. Michel was pleased to have her son home for Christmas and it pleased her more that Kate had been the one who suggested it. After much work, they sat at opposite ends of the small family dining table in the kitchen and ate apples.
• “There’s a nice shopping mall around the corner – Littman Stores. We should check it out this weekend. What do you think?”
• Kate smiled slightly. Michel was inviting her to go shopping with her.
