"I did too," he says with a little laugh. "Does it change anything between you and me? You're my best friend, Ro. The best I've ever had. I never thought I'd be as comfortable with any friend as I am with you."
"I'd change some of my weekend plans to do that with you two again," he admits with a little grin. "Which I guess answers my question about how you're feeling about it all."
"I want to do Thanksgiving again," he says, very quietly. K is gone. K was the reason he went last year, but he has family here still. People still here he wants to celebrate. "Can we do that? Please?"
"Yeah I think I already have," he smirks. "But...I don't think we should have it at Broken Hollow. In case he wants to come home somewhere quiet partway through."
