Fil and Elijah enjoyed their snacks in the living room. Jackson stared at the pair from the kitchen, smiling subtly. His smile, however, was short-lived at the thought in his mind.
"Here." Jackson returned to the living area, putting down a bowl of popcorn on the table. "You guys start the movie. I forgot that I needed to make a phone call."
Fil and Elijah looked at him curiously.
"Sure." Fil smiled, not asking anything since she knew he had plenty of things to do. "But we'll wait for you."
"It's not a movie night if we don't wait for you," Elijah added. "Take your time, bro. Don't worry about us."
Jackson smiled slightly and nodded in understanding.
When he left, Elijah turned to his sister.
"Sis, is he alright?" he asked. "My brother seems a little off since you guys came home."
"Well, I think it's my fault."
"Huh?"
