My Best Friend Took My Wedding, So I Fed the Whole Town novel · Chapter 19 of 24
Chapter 19: Kitchen Table
By Thursday evening my father's kitchen held twenty-two people, and I had run out of chairs.
News of the notice had gone round the harbor in a day.
Nobody had phoned me.
They simply came, one household after another, each carrying a dish, and stood in the doorway until I said come in.
The nets man took the chair by the stove, where my father had always sat, and hung his cane on the table edge.
"Don't sit there," I said, out of habit.
"He wouldn't mind."
"No," I said. "He wouldn't."
The woman in the Mission League sweatshirt was frying onions.
The girl with the bicycle was setting out paper plates.
The fire board woman, the nets man's daughter-in-law, stood at the counter with a folder under her arm.
Lasse leaned in the pantry door with a dish towel on his shoulder, saying nothing and watching me.
I had the notice on the table.
"Thirty days," I said. "I've read it nine times. I think I'm supposed to cry."
