After grabbing a bite and watching a movie, Celeste and Jordyn passed by an arcade. Jordyn’s eyes lit up–she hadn’t played games with Celeste in ages. Without hesitation, she pulled her inside.

Celeste hesitated.

Theodore chuckled as he replied, “Cel, just bring them along. I don’t mind.” Then, after a brief pause, he asked, Yours?”
