A Little Excerpt

Thanksgiving 2015

Kevin Maggliardi and his three older siblings were at their parents’ house in Cranston, Rhode Island for Thanksgiving. At the time, Sheridan, 29, was living in Boston. Graham, 26, was living in New York. Addison, 24, was living in Chicago. And Kevin was still a student and living in Boston.

Although Sheridan and Kevin lived close to each other and are very close, they otherwise keep their lives pretty separate. Sheridan was living with a couple of his friends in Cambridge. Kevin was living in the Allston neighborhood with his friends, Jing Hao, Mike Wong, and David Rogers.

Graham and Addison were helping their parents make their traditional Italian food for Thanksgiving. Sheridan came home after getting coffee with a friend. He was walking toward the kitchen, and then Kevin quickly ran through the walkway leading to it, quickly scaring Sheridan.

“OH MY GOD!!!!” Sheridan shouted.
“BOO YA!” Kevin screamed.
“What the hell, man. My heart nearly exploded.”
“Charlie got scared. Ya dingus.”
“Don’t ever f*cking do that again,” Sheridan said, trying to catch his breath.
“You alright?” Kevin asked.
“No, of course not. I’m gonna like die over here.”
“No, it’s not that bad.”
“Still, don’t do that.”
“Noted.”
