Noah and I decided that we should go to The Cages with Jeremy. It was something we all could do, it wasn't too far from home, and if I was feeling awkward, I could just play it off and go for a round in the cages. Noah really thought it through and I was happy with the plan.
"Are you sure you don't need the rest of us there?" Dave asked the next morning during breakfast.
I nodded. "I don't want it to look like that I'm hiding behind you guys. Noah is plenty scary enough."
Dave chuckled. "As long as you thought it through." He lifted his eyebrows. "But, if you change your mind, have Noah text us."
Kyle nodded in agreement. "We don't even know if we can trust this guy after all. Good player doesn't always equal good person."
I smiled. This is what real big brothers are like. Protective. Nosey. Slightly annoying. I didn't mind one bit.
