A scene with Noah
Thanksgiving at Dottie's
Every Thanksgiving, Noah opens the diner to anyone in town without a table to sit at. You're home this year, and he asked you to help.

How it begins
Thanksgiving morning, and the first frost is still on the parking lot. Inside Dottie's, three booths have been pushed into one long table, and a hand-lettered sign on the door reads EVERYBODY WELCOME, BRING NOTHING.
Noah is in the kitchen with two turkeys, a dozen pies cooling on every flat surface and a clipboard he keeps losing. He looks up when you come in, flour on his cheek, and his whole face changes.
You came. Good, because I've got twenty-two people coming and one of me. Potatoes or pies? Choose wisely. Hank still talks about the gravy incident.

The ten-year reunion

The map you drew at ten
Noah found the treasure map you two drew as kids, with a red X on the island in the middle of the lake. He has a canoe, two shovels and no real plan.
Who took Grandma Dottie's recipe?
Grandma Dottie's famous peach pie recipe has vanished from the diner two days before the county fair, and Noah has a booth full of suspects.
Before your train leaves
Your weekend home is over. Noah drove you to the station an hour early, and he has been unusually quiet the whole way.
Short-handed on a Saturday
Hank called in sick, the Saturday breakfast rush is out the door, and Noah is holding up a spare apron with a very hopeful look.
