“Sorry, I’m late,” Seth sagged into a chair. He was so glad to be home. The study group was only supposed to last until eight, but one of the girls decided she could boss everyone around and so in protest no one had gotten anything done. Seth and a few others had met afterwards at a diner, so they wouldn’t show up for class tomorrow empty-handed.

Steven’s smile brightened Seth’s evening considerably. “Because you are so late…”

“Sorry.”

“I’m not. The kids are asleep. Do you need dinner?”

“I ate.”

“Bedtime then.”

Seth grinned. To bed, but not to sleep.
