Who Cat Max & Elliot Stebbins What Christmas After-dinner drinks When Christmas! Where Stebbins Household Status Incomplete/Closed Rating ???
Cat really liked spending time with Elliot, even if being a part of family time made her feel a little bit nervous. She'd never pictured herself as much of a mother-type and so she certainly didn't want Elliot's children getting too attached (though, they already seemed to like her a fair bit, and so did Dog). She'd accepted the invitation for Christmas dinner because Elliot's invitation was to sweet for her to refuse and she really didn't have anywhere else to be.
After Elliot put his children to bed, she helped him with the tidy-up, and was just finished with pulling the remaining turkey from the bones to put into a bad for sandwiches the next day, as he was drying the last of the dishes.
"Well! That went fast." She picked up her wine glass, which still had a bit left in it from dinner, and polished it off. "All the preparation and then the just zips by, doesn't it?"
