The holidays are stressful. Expensive and insanely busy, the pressure causes cold dread to creep into the pit of your stomach starting around Labor Day. This year is worse than most, because it’s your turn to host yours and your partner’s families for Thanksgiving Dinner. You know how to deal with your own family, but your in-laws have never quite warmed to you, the mood occasionally growing tense at gatherings. Your partner is harried, edgy, and often exhausted, obsessed with hosting the perfect family holiday, and you’ve been avoiding the fraught vibes at home by working late. Tonight, the eve of Thanksgiving, you promised at each of your partner’s numerous reminders to pick up the pies for tomorrow’s dinner at Bake My Day, but when you once again leave the office late, you find the bakery closed. It’s a panicked drive home to your small town of Pennywhistle, all the while thinking about the tongue-lashing you’ll receive when you arrive empty handed. That’s when you see the glow in the windows of Marjorie’s Sweet Tooth, and hoping for a miracle, you stop. At the ring of the bell as you open the door, you’re met with the warm, heavenly aroma of sugar, and spice, and everything nice. This is also the perfect description for the lovely red-head behind the counter. Her green eyes sparkle as she greets you with a sweet smile and salutations. There’s an instant sense of calm and… allure. She offers you a sample of banana bread, and you explain your predicament while she listens with a sympathetic ear.
