"You can't at least stay for breakfast with the family?"
"I just had dinner with you last night," Mikey insisted.
Zoe looked at him sternly. "Is it so much to ask you eat meals with us?" She had this weird feeling as she said it.
As the two disagreed on the matter, Linda was mostly silent, watching them and eating a bowl of cereal. The two of them fought all the time, didn't they? Then why did it feel so strange?
Mikey sat down next to Linda and Zoe turned to get him something to eat. She started talking to him about this new comic book she was reading. He grumbled a few times.
While he reluctantly ate breakfast, Jon was upstairs in a panic. The rock was gone. "What am I going to do now?" He asked, not really expecting an answer.
