"If you ever need any help or tips, you can always call on Corinne," Brian says with a laugh.
"She's a pretty great cook," Caleb adds.
Ezra grins, winking. "You think I'm pretty special too, huh?"

"I'll keep that in mind." Carson smiles, "Thanks."
Sophie blushes as she takes a bite of potatoes.

"Or even if you just don't want to cook," Caleb adds so only Carson can hear. "Or if you just want to come see me."
"You do think I'm special," Ezra teases.

"Sounds good to me." Carson grins.
"I think everyone is special." Sophie grins as she pushes a strand of hair behind her ear.

"You know you're always welcome," Caleb adds.
Brian, hearing this comment, says, "And so is your sister. You two are too young to be so entirely on your ow."
"I like your view point," Ezra replies.

"We appreciate that more than you know." Carson replies.
"I'm glad." Sophie says laughing as she takes another bite.

"No one deserves to live on their own so young, sweetie," Corinne adds. "Really, it's our pleasure to help."
"Told you my stepmom was the best," Caleb chuckles.
Ezra falls silent for a moment as he slowly takes a bite himself. "Favorite subject?" he asks out of the blue, just to keep conversation rolling.

Carson smiles.
"Art, science, and history," She smiles, "I can't pick just one."

"Well, I try," Corinne chuckles. "I work with young people all day who are so obviously hurting, a lot of them estranged from family. If I can do anything to create a sense of family and belonging with those I love and those around me, I will."
"Indecisive, huh?" Ezra grins. "I can tell you I suck at art, so it's definitely nowhere near my list."

"That sounds great." Carson smiles.
Sophie laughs, "No, not indecisive, just happen to have three favorites. What about you? What's your favorite subject?"

"It's my pleasure, hun," Corinne says with a smile at the young man. "Anyone who's a friend of my kids is welcome to call any time."
"Physics," Ezra says immediately. "No doubt."

"Oh wow, seriously?" Sophie says with an impressed look on her face, "That's awesome. I mean, I know nothing about it, but that's awesome."

Ezra shrugs. "It's just cool to learn about things like that. Engineering... Biology... I like knowing how and why things work."
Caleb takes a couple bites of his food before the relative silence on their end of the table breaks with Brian's chuckle. "What is it, dad?"
"I was just thinking of some of the things you two used to do," Brian laughs. "Remember some of the Halloween costumes you'd pull off?"

Sophie nods, "I like both of those things on the small scale... hands on stuff I can get into but all the formulas and stuff make my head hurt."
Carson laughs, "I believe the first one was Charlie Brown and Snoopy when we were 5."

"Gets real heady, don't it?" Ezra grins. "Lotta people don't think I'm capable of that stuff."
"And you were the cutest little pair," Brian chuckles. "I'm sure we have pictures of that somewhere."

"I have one at the apartment. I'll bring it next time. Mom always kept it on the refrigerator."
"Yea...I'm not that smart I guess." Sophie laughs

"You still have that?" Caleb asks softly. "Carse, that's adorable."
"Can I tell you a secret?" Ezra leans in. "I'm not either. It takes a lotta work."

"Of course I do... that one... Mario and Luigi, Buzz and Woody...."
Sophie's breath catches as he leans closer to her, "Really?"

"Wasn't there one year we did Harry Potter?" Caleb asks with a laugh.
Ezra nods. "School is- is hard for me. But I- I work hard and..." He shrugs as if to say everything works out.

"Oh yea, Sophie went with us that year as Hermione."
"And the last year I made you guys be Edward and Jacob and I was Bella." Sophie laughs before turning back to Ezra, "Well it sounds like you're already smarter than anyone I know so it sounds like you're doing pretty well for yourself."

"That was the one year I swore I hated Halloween," Caleb laughs.
"I try," Ezra replies with a shrug.

"Ah you know you loved it." Carson grins.
Sophie smiles at him, "I'm sure you do great. Besides, being smart isn't everything you know."

"I mean, duh! But I couldn't let everyone else know that," Caleb laughs.
"Oh, I think I know that more than anybody," Ezra chuckles.

"True." Carson laughs, "But you did make a pretty cute vampire."
"Yea?" Sophie smiles, "So what else do you like to do?"

"I mean, thanks, but I don't see how anyone could say that. I was going through some major stuff that year," Caleb says.
"I listen to a lot of audio books and podcasts," Ezra says.

"You were... but you were still cute as Edward." Carson smiles.
"He's right, you were." Sophie jumps in and flashes a grin at Caleb before turning back to Ezra, "Yea? What do you like to listen to?"

"Can I just say that you as Jacob though really pretty much solidified for me that I liked you? As crazy as that sounds," Caleb laughs.
"Huge sci-fi fan. I like the classics," he says. "Though I listen to just about anything."
"Major audio book work, this one," Brian chuckles.

"Seriously? That black dye in my hair and Sophie making me go with shorts and no shirt? Thank goodness it was just for the indoor carnival. It was freezing that year! Oh and remember she made me wear that fake tattoo on my shoulder?"
Sophie smiles, "Only sci fi type thing I know of is War of the Worlds. I liked it though."

"I told you it sounded crazy!" Caleb laughs. "I'm surprised you didn't know then and there that I was into you."
"That's a good one. Pretty much anything by Orwell is a good choice if you're interested," Ezra replies.

Carson laughs as a blush rises to his cheeks, "Yea but you were the sparkly one."
"Sure." Sophie smiles, "I've been wanting to read Cloud Atlas at some point. Have you heard of that one?"
