Vincent’s Thanksgiving Date

Vincent’s Thanksgiving Date (2014) R. Cooper

Just wanted a comforting romance.

He didn’t understand why other people found silence so uncomfortable when it had never bothered him. But every time he was quiet for too long he could see people start to wonder what was wrong with him. Then he’d get cold and his palms would get sweaty, and he’d know from the knot in his stomach that he’d done it again; he’d alienated someone else with his inability to talk politely about things that didn’t matter.

Indecision had Vincent researching obscure, forgotten laws many cities had kept on the books after Prohibition, and then how to infuse flavors into alcohol, and then how exactly one died from wood alcohol poisoning, until he was deep in a sea of useless information and it took a knock at his door to snap him out of his research daze.
