"Hey Kyle." Declan knocked on the half open door.
"Hey Declan." Kyle looked up with a grin. "Lori's not home."
"I know. She and Hilary went shopping."
"If you know, then why are you here?"
"I had nothing going on, thought maybe we could shoot some hoops or something."
"Did you have another fight with your father?"
Declan laughed. "No. He's at work. Right now we are in the ignore Declan phase."
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be, it's better than the Yell at Declan for being less than perfect again phase."
"Why is your father like that?"
Declan looked around the room. "Hey Kyle."
"Yeah."
"Did you mean what you said to Mr and Mrs Trager about moving on? Or was that just to cover up the stuff that Foss guy said to you?"
"I don't know." Kyle shrugged. "I guess I meant it."
"Cool. Then I have an idea."
"What kind of idea?"
"Just something we can do. To mark the start of your 'I'm not going to obsess over the stuff I can't remember anymore' phase."
"Will we get in trouble?"
"We're going to ask Mrs Trager before we do it. So no, we won't get in trouble."
"Cool."
