Sibling Time in the New Place
The apartment was only two weeks old, and already Ben had to clean it up. His mother and Sam had helped him get some furniture for the one bedroom, but he had his own space and it felt good. Of course, he was also living up to the single male sterotype and the place was trashed almost immediately with take-out cartons and dirty clothes.
But today he was cleaning it all up while trying to cook something simple for dinner. He had suggested to Maddie on her birthday that they get together for some sibling time, but it had been put off until now.
It was a Friday night, and he had offered Maddie dinner and a movie and just time to hang out. It got her out of the house, and if she ended up eating and then bailing to go see her boyfriend and he covered for her... well, he couldn't blame her for ditching him for better company.
However, the place should at least look nice when she got there - more than likely their father was going to interrogate her for info on what the place looked like after all.
The food was in the over cooking as he looked up at the clock, wondering just where his sister might be. He debated calling her, but figured she might have just missed one bus and had to grab the next one.
