“I don’t know,” she replied. The second half of the game began, buying her a reprieve. The 49ers finally won the game but it took them until the final few seconds, a field goal giving them a two-point lead.
Alexander was asleep again. Even Tom was nodding off. The caramel popcorn was three-quarters gone, Jennifer and Peter having both begun to work seriously on it during the fourth quarter of the game. Peter got slowly to his feet as the commentators gave the game wrap-up. Jennifer began packing up the remains of the chips and dip and the snack crackers. If they left it with her she would eat it. While her doctor would definitely like her to gain ten pounds, she didn’t think this was what he had in mind. Tom held the sack for her. “Thanks, Tom.”
“Alex, it’s time to go home, son.” Peter gently woke the boy. Alex reluctantly got to his feet. “Who won?”
“The 49ers,” Peter replied. Alex could not keep his eyes open. Peter picked him up. “I’ll be back in a minute, Jennifer. Let me get this one settled in the car.”
Jennifer nodded. “Tom, can you reach the porch light for your father?”
The glasses back on the tray, it took only a couple minutes to put the room back in order. Jennifer carried the tray into the kitchen.
“Thanks for having us, Jennifer.”
She smiled at her brother. “Same time next week?”
He smiled. “Deal. I’ll get Tom to help me make some homemade ice cream.”
Jennifer groaned. “I am so full that doesn’t even sound good.”
Peter looked at the bowl of caramel popcorn. “We did a pretty good job on that,” he agreed. He smiled. “Let me know when you hear from Scott again.”
She pushed him toward the door. “Go home, Peter.”
The phone rang as she was getting ready for bed.
“What’s this I hear about you having a date?”
Jennifer sat down on the bed. “And hello to you too, Rachel.”
