Brennan

Leaving now with the requested food.

Me

Sounds good.

Wes also texted.

Wes

Is Grace with you? She’s not answering me, but her location is at home.

Evan’s not answering either.

I took a picture of her and Evan eating cookies.

Me

Movie night.

Wes

Great. Spence and I will be home in a little bit.

The movie finished.

“The snacks are gone. Who ate our snacks?” Grace sniffed as she held up the empty chip bag and the empty box of cookies. “Jett, who ate the snacks?”

“You did, silly.” I tickled her.

“Who me?” She laughed and swatted at me.

There was a knock on the door.

“Hey, I have food,” Brennan called.

“Come in,” Evan replied. “I’m hungry.”

“Oh good. Someone ate all our snacks,” Grace announced.

Brennan slipped in and looked at Grace, then at me.

“I’ll share.” Whoops, I didn’t tell him to get any for her. But also, that’s not what the look was for.

He put the food on the table.

“You’re the best, Bren.” Grace leaned forward and wrapped her arms around him.

“Bren really is.” Evan joined the hug.

“I try.” Brennan just stood there, blinking.

“Here, it’s spicy, you’ll like it.” I opened the spicy shrimp dish Brennan always got for me and handed it to her.

“Thanks, Jett. You’re also the best. The bester? The bestest?” Grace leaned in and kissed me.

Before I could react, she’d grabbed some chopsticks and shoved food in her mouth.
