Jeremy and I spent a couple more minutes alone, with him mostly thinking of what kind of 'first meeting' with our cousins we should have. He was really set on us meeting, which made me feel anxious, but I understood. These cousins, are like the Atkins. It would be rude of me to refuse when Jeremy has made so much effort to get to know the Atkins. It's only fair to return the favor.
After a bit, we walked back to the crowd behind home plate. He made sure I was back with the Atkins before heading back to the dugout.
"Hey, you kids ready to go to your seats?" Rose asked, appearing out of nowhere.
"You just missed Jeremy." Noah pointed out. "He just went to the dugout."
Rose gave a tight smile that looked forced. "I'll see him later. Right now, my job is you guys." She brushed Noah off and started to lead us away from the field.
Noah wiggled his brows at me, but I could only shrug. According to Jeremy, things went well.
