"Woah, hold on just a minute." Mom came out with a plate of fresh fruit, overhearing their talk about going to the park to play. "Jake and Noah still have Alisha's party in a couple of hours. Will you be done by then?"

"Or course!" Noah said confidently. 

She looked at him, skeptical. 

"Zeke is there too. He'll keep an eye on the time. It'll be fine." Noah assured her. 

She looked to Zeke for confirmation. 

Zeke gave a nod. "I'll make sure they're back in time even if the game isn't over."

"Make sure they wear decent clothes." Mom told him. "And make sure they brush their hair. And warn them about underage drinking. And be on their best behavior. And-"

"And we're right here, Mom." Noah cut her off. "Stop treating us like babies."

Mom looked at him. Looked at me. Then looked at Zeke. "Zeke?"

"I'll remind them." Zeke told her.
