I missed my marketing class, but my professor knows about my situation, so I sent him a text from my Jeep after sticking around long enough to talk to my mom’s oncologist. The fact that he didn’t seem worried definitely helped me take my anxiety down a notch or two. And over-caution is better than being reckless, so I’m glad she’s here, even for just a cold.

I call Flynn during my drive home to update him and Todd, and they promise to fill in our older brothers so I don’t have to. I may be the one here and doing the hands-on caretaking, but my brothers are very much locked in with everything that happens. We all share with each other, something mom hasn’t seemed to find a way around for, well, I guess twenty-eight years since that’s how old Andrew is. I’m pretty sure when he was born, Patrick invested the brother code with him, and the two of them simply passed it on with each McCreary.

By the time I pull up to the house, it’s late afternoon and my stomach is growling. Ivy’s truck is in the driveway and the garage is shut, which I think means Matt’s car is probably tucked inside. I’m not really in the mood for a full house, but I’m also kind of glad that it’s not just going to be me and Laney alone right away. I don’t really feel like talking about my day. I’d rather blend in and simply pick up on what the rest of the housemates are doing.

When I walk into the house, I’m hit with some serious grilled onion aroma. My mouth waters so much that I’m practically drooling, so I follow the scent to the kitchen where Laney is working a skillet on the stove while Ivy sits across from her on one of the stools.

“What’s cooking?” I take the other stool and twist to look for Matt. I find him wearing some headset game that has him karate chopping around the living room. When my gaze meets Ivy’s she rolls her eyes and shrugs about her brother.

“He’s ridiculous,” she explains. “And homemade pasta and sauce. Laney’s brilliant in the kitchen. Five bucks if you want in.” She holds out a palm, and I immediately glance at Laney as if she’ll tell me if her friend is taking me for a ride or not.

“Pay up buddy,” Laney says. “When we make meals for everyone, we all chip in. I’ve been coming over here to eat for a year. That’s the rule.”

I look back to Ivy, whose open palm is still waiting.

“Okay, I’m in.” I fish out my wallet and stretch it open in hopes of a stray five. I rarely have cash, though, and all I have in there now is an old dime I think is probably stuck to the lining with syrup and the receipt for the pizza and beer Laney and I picked up last night.

“We accept Venmo,” Ivy says. By the time my wallet is tucked away and my phone is out, she’s already got hers ready to scan.
