"Did you have fun with your friends tonight?" asked Carmen when Miguel walked through the door.
"Uh, yeah." His expression didn't match his words. He seemed dejected, distracted. He didn't lift his eyes from his phone.
"Everything okay?" She'd thought perhaps that she would talk with him about her date with his Sensei. But it looked like too much was on his mind right then to bring it up.
Miguel finally looked at her. "Yeah, great. Um, by chance, did Tory call the house?"
Carmen shook her head. "No."
"Okay." Miguel sighed. "I'm pretty tired. Gonna go to bed. Night."
