"It's okay." I spoke up. "I can do my homework at the kitchen table." I smiled at my collection of bats.

"I'm feeling restless." Noah grinned as he came over to run his hand over the bats. "I think we should go relax at The Cages tonight. It's been so long."

I looked to Dad to see what he would say.

Dad looked thoughtful as he studied me and Noah. "Hmm. How's the ankle, Jake? Noah, have you been kind to your back?"

"We haven't done anything at Grampa's." Noah said. "We were just light aches and pains. We've had plenty of time off. Come on, pleaseee?"

I rotated my ankle generously to show that it wasn't hurting me at all.

"I reject that idea!" Dave spoke up. He raised his right hand still in a brace. "If I can't have fun, you guys can't either."

"You'll get that off on Monday." Dad assured him. "If you don't want to go, we can do something different."
