Tony didn’t have red hair, Gibbs mused as his senior field agent carved the turkey, laughing at something McGee said on the other side of Gibbs’ dining room table. Tony didn’t have red hair, and, furthermore, Shannon had never carved their turkeys.
Tony’s grin, wide and mischievous and teasing, was nothing like the pure smile Shannon would have given. Tony’s shout of ‘Dig in!’ like they were all in a fraternity could never be confused with the quiet Grace Shannon gave at every Christmas dinner.
The only thing Shannon and Tony had in common was the way Gibbs loved them.
