The evening passed quickly after everyone had had their fill of laughing at Kellen. Kellen was flustered, but when he noticed that his Mom wasn't staring at the room his Dad was lying still in, he quickly shut up and dealt with it.
Gwen was as awkward as ever, and quiet as well. It was odd for her, and even Brent, who was not that familiar with her, noticed. He didn't point it out, but he looked at Kellen before glancing at Gwen. Kellen shrugged.
There was nothing he could do if she kept avoiding him.
Eventually, while still in the Captain's lap, Kellen felt drowsiness overtake him. When he yawned, it was like everyone panicked.
"Are you tired? Are you okay? Anything we can do?" Brent asked, and Kellen's eyes widened at the sudden switch. Kellen's Mom wasn't any better.
"Do I need to call Taylor? Is this normal?" His Mom's eyes were vibrating, she was so anxious. The Captain wasn't helping the situation.
