“Can we order pizza?” Jase asked.
“Yeah, sure.” I looked at my old roommate again. “Want to stay for pizza?”
“Sure, why not?”

“I want to watchEncantonow.”Cammie grabbed the remote before anyone else as soon as the Chargers’ game ended.
“No,” Jase whined. “If you watch that, Dylan and I are going to play Mario Kart.”
I expected Gage to hightail it out of there at the mention of a Disney movie. Instead, he said, “You boys go play your game and we’ll watchEncantowith Cammie.”
Wewill?
“I want popcorn too,” she stated.
“We just ate pizza,” I reminded her.
“So? We always have popcorn with movies.”
“Fine.” I chuckled. “Popcorn it is.”
“And fruit snacks.” She beamed.
“And juice?” I asked.
“Yeah.” She smiled widely.
“We want popcorn too,” Jase stated.
“How about this?” Gage cut in. “We’ll go make the popcorn and get the snacks. Boys, go play your game and we’ll bring it to you. Cam, get the movie cued up.”
The boys rushed off and Cammie got comfy in her spot with her blanket.
“You don’t need to stay and watch a cartoon,” I said as we walked into the kitchen.
“Do you not want me to stay?”
I spun to face him. “That’s not what I’m saying.”
“Then you want me to stay?”
“I … yes.”
“Good.”
I turned back around and headed for the pantry to pull out four bags of popcorn. “Think four will be enough?”
“We could always make more.”
“True.”
“Mind if I grab another beer?”
“Not at all.”
