Summary
It’s a week before Thanksgiving that her cell phone rings. Most of her friends just text, but Bessie still calls. Something about the reception at the B&B always makes Bessie sound so far away, like the occasional overseas call home she made in that lost year. Fall has been late in coming, and it’s not until she clicks off the window a/c that her sister’s voice comes through clear enough to hear, and mid-sentence. “–won’t take no for an answer this year, I swear to God, Jo. We’re setting a place for you at the table and you’re going to sit in it.”
