The two were at a stalemate. Zeke didn't know what to offer Noah and Noah didn't have any material wants. We left the store and headed for Alisha's. 

"She said we could park in the driveway since we brought some food." Noah told Zeke as we got close. 

Zeke glanced at him. "Are you sure it has nothing to do with her crush on you?"

Noah's cheeks gained some color. "Shut up. You don't know what you're talking about."

Zeke revealed a small smile. We arrived on her block and saw the street parking was mostly occupied. Thanks to Noah we could park in the driveway. Noah sent Alisha a text that we were here and then we started to unload the car. All three of us had our hands full as we headed for the door. 

Alisha opened the door before we could knock. "Hey, Noah!" She smiled. "Jake. Zeke. You guys have perfect timing. The adults just finished grilling the first set of burgers. Do you need help carrying in anything?"
