I didn't shave, but I showered and dug out a suit from the back of my closet. Historically speaking, I have spent all but one Thanksgiving on this rock alone. I mean, there've been other people present, sure, but they weren't family. And what's the point of Thanksgiving without family? It's the biggest excuse to eat of the year, but looking around the admittedly expansive spread, I can't figure out why the hell I'm here outside of the fact that I apparently can't say no to Captain America.
I think that's probably why most people showed up, actually. He's a convincing guy. Just maybe not convincing enough to get me to stick around. One look at the Island turkey and I realize I just don't have the appetite to stay. Loosening my tie as I step back from the table, feeling crowded and overheated, I gravitate towards the wall, intent on sneaking out before I'm cornered. Only problem is, I'm too distracted by where I'm going that I don't pay any attention to where I am, and it's only through some latent quick reflexes that I manage to avoid a collision with someone's back.
