"Afternoon Mrs. Takagi." Steve said, sending her a smile.
"Stephen, how many times have I told you to call me by my first name." Yuki said, though she wore a pleased expression.
"Ah boys, you're here. Doing some more studying tonight?" The sound of Chris's deep voice called out as he walked into the dining room.
"Well not exactly. We're trying to brainstorm ways Steve can ask this girl to prom." Ken replied matter-of-factly.
Hearing his friend spill the beans so casually to the adults, Steve was taken aback. Just how much did the guy tell his parents?
