Be that as it may, Cooper now owes me a hundred bucks so, thank you for your service.
 
 Also, you know I’m proud of you, right? I just say that shit to fuck with you because it’s funny.
 
 Cooper
 
 We’re all proud of you.
 
 Me
 
 And you are definitely the baddest ass.
 
 Noah
 
 Fuck, fine. I forgive you. Now stop making it all emotional and weird.
 
 Me
 
 Done. Dinner is at seven. Make dessert.
 
 Noah
 
 I’m going to assume you were talking to me because ovens cry actual tears when Cooper gets near them and Jordan is more of a make dinner but buy dessert kind of guy.
 
 Me
 
 Sure was. You’re not at the hospital today. You have time to make dessert.
 
 Noah
 
 How do you know my schedule?
 
 Cooper
 
 Seriously? It’s Elliot. He has everyone’s schedule memorized. He knows my schedule and I don’t even have a schedule beyond work always.
 
 Me
 
 It’s a gift.
 
 Jordan
 
 You know, you could free up a ton of mental space by paying less attention to our schedules. We’re fully grown adults.
 
 Me
 
 I am who I am. Just let me live.
 
 Noah
 
 Will Amelia be there?
 
 Me
 
 Of course she’ll be there.
 
 Noah
 
 Why of course? Last I checked she doesn’t live with you.
