Jesse's wife Amber, answered the door. "My favorite brother-in law!" she exclaimed, hugging Kelvin. "And my other favorite brother in law," kissing...Keefe's cheek?
"Hey!" Judy's husband BJ yelled from the parlor.
Other favorite brother in law? "We're not...um...we're not..." Kelvin stammered, but Keefe and Amber were already heading toward the Christmas tree to deposit the presents.
He checked the seating arrangements: two places on one of the sofas, but they would have to sit very close together. Gulp! Maybe someone would get up to go to the bathroom, and he could take their place. He stopped at the pastry cart in the alcove. He usually didn't eat sugar, but this was an emergency!
"No time for feeding your face, Brother," Jesse called. "These presents won't unwrap themselves."

Good story very sweet
ReplyDeleteOriginally I had Kelvin and Keefe handing out presents as a couple, too, but Kelvin couldn't know about it, so somehow he had to put Keefe in charge of buying the presents, and never check on what they were? Even then, he would certainly notice if Keefe had 6 gifts (buying them as a couple), not 12 (buying them separately). So I decided to just not mention it.
