“Merrychristmasunclekevinwha’dyoubringus?” Ryan’s nephews, two sweater-clad elves, assault the newcomers.
“Merry Christmas!” Ryan breathes in cooking smells while spotting a snowball fight in the back yard. “You remember Jenny, right?” Jenny’s pretending to hide a tote bag bearing snowman-wrapped gifts the size of console games.
“Kevin! Jenny! You’re just in time for my eggnog!” Kevin’s father greets them with hugs and two nearly flammable glasses of eggnog. Raucous laughter erupts in the kitchen.
“This is good!” Jenny proclaims, earning a grin from Ryan senior.
Kevin notices that Jenny fits right in with the Christmas chaos. Like she belongs in this family.
