Mary had gone to bed, but Joseph lay awake on his side of the bed. He heard Jake come back into the house, and heard the refrigerator door moving. He got up and put on a shirt, already wearing some pants, and he walked out into the hallway to see Jake drinking juice at the counter. "It's late." He says, "Is your homework done?" He asks, closing the door behind him so he doesn't wake Mary. "She'll be mad if the teacher calls about you again." He says, frowning.
