Jan. 12th, 2012 06:33 pmThere have been more awkward family gatherings, of that Abigail is certain.
Not that she has ever experienced, however.
The food and drink distracted everyone for a time; but the food is gone and the drink is flowing more freely now, and Abigail starts looking hard at each member of their group wondering who will be the first to break the general silence with more than a request to pass the bread or a comment on the weather. The few attempts at conversation that were made by herself or one of the less, ah, concerned parties present hadn't gotten far.
This is the most enjoyable day she has had in months!
