Having gotten such a cryptic answer out of her mother, Violet was determined to keep her eye on Michael Gray at Thanksgiving dinner and see if she could figure out the connection between him and her father for himself. She sent Noah a 'Happy Thanksgiving' text out of habit and was slightly surprised to get one back since he had been AWOL for so long.
She tried to engage him in conversation by telling him that Michael Gray was coming over for dinner and she was planning on trying to figure him out but didn't get a response. He must have been busy helping prepare dinner.
Violet certainly was. Nathan had taken over the kitchen and was ordering people around to help with less important tasks like peeling potatoes and putting the rolls into the oven. Kaleb and Oliver, who had arrived home late the night before, were on the verge of mutiny.
