Chapter 20: Cleo's Thanksgiving
Tamar's POV
Cleo's mother set a plate down in front of me and said, "Eat. Nobody's writing it down."
The Fitch house was loud.
It was a yellow house on a corner in Dunmore with a porch swing, a dog and a dozen people crammed around a table meant for eight.
There was a card table at the end for the overflow.
I sat at the real table, between Cleo and her grandmother.
Dane sat across from me, being introduced.
"This is Dane," Cleo's father announced to the room, with great pride. "He gave away twelve million dollars and then took a job at a bakery. I read about it. He's an idiot, and I love him."
"Thank you, sir," Dane said.
"Call me Dad. Everybody does," Cleo's father said.
"Thank you, Dad," Dane said.
"You're carving."
"I'm what?" Dane asked.
"The turkey is on you, son," Cleo's father said.
Dane looked at the bird.
He looked at the knife.
He looked at me with a faint pleading expression.
"I rowed crew," he said. "I don't have the training."
"It's a bird," said Cleo's grandmother.
He cut into the breast.
The slices came out in thick wedges, and then in shreds, and then, when he went for the leg, in a sort of pile.
I watched for as long as I could stand it.
"Give me the knife," I said.
"Tamar, I can..."
"The joint is here." I took the knife and the fork across the table and pressed down. "You've been cutting across the grain. The angle is wrong. You turn the blade ten degrees."
