— newt ! ( @salvctions )
“ i think it’s coming along nicely ! ” mari piped up excitedly. she knew helping her cook probably wasn’t a high priority on her boyfriend’s list, but she so appreciated newt doing it nonetheless. hosting friendsgiving for five was certainly a task the brunette was prepared for, but it helped to have all hands on deck. that was precisely why cora had been in charge of the decorations and evie was at he store right now, braving the holiday mass to buy cranberry sauce. they all had their part to contribute.
slowly, she stirred the gravy with a large spoon. the consistency was perfect and all there was left to do was taste. ladling a bit onto the spoon, mari held it up to newt’s lips with a nervous smile. “ mind tasting it ? and promise me you’ll tell me if it’s bad. ” there was still an hour until meal time. if she had to remake the gravy, she would certainly remake the gravy. “ blow first. i don’t want it to burn you. . . ”
