*A few hours later (10 am)*
As Ephram drove home from Madison's, he thought up a genius plan to tell his father. As he opened the door, he could hear his father pacing.
"EPHRAM BROWN! WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU? I TOLD YOU YOU COULD GO TO PAIGE'S PARTY, NOT SLEEP THERE!" Andy bellowed at his son. He wondered where he had been and what he had been doing.
"DAD! Relax! Before you go and scream your head off and something you have no idea about, at least ask me about it! For your information, Bright was drunk, and I was the designated driver! I couldn't have left him and his friends there without a ride, could I have? What if they had tried to drive home?" Ephram knew his lie had worked like a charm.
"Oh. I'm sorry I yelled at you, Ephram. But you should've at least called. Are Bright and his friends ok?" Dr. Brown felt guilty for screaming at his responsible son.
"Yeah, they're fine. What are you and Delia doing today?"
"Dels is at Brittany's house. She's sleeping over there, and I have to visit a few patients in Denver. I'm spending the night there, so I won't be home until around noon tomorrow. Why? You got any plans?"
"Uh.no! I was just wondering, because I would've taken Delia to the library or something. But I do have a bit of homework that I could do, and it wouldn't hurt to practice some more piano." Ephram knew that if he sounded like a responsible older brother, his father would buy it. Secretly, he was going to invite Madison over.
