Chapter Eighty-Nine: Don’t trust the cobbler

Scott sat at the head of the table with mom off to the side of him. He was trying to hold back a grimace as he looked down at the peach cobbler on the plate in front of him. A scoop of ice cream was melting into the desert but he still hadn’t touched it.
