A little while later, after Josh had departed, Riley was still talking through the previous night’s adventures with Maya and her family.

“Riley, we’re happy that you liked your college experience—” Mrs. Matthews began.

“And we’re sad to have to give you a grounding experience,” Mr. Matthews continued, holding up a pair of fingers. “Two weeks.”

“It should be three,” taunted the potato tot, which had set up shop on the table next to the window seat.

“Deal,” Riley said to her parents, ignoring the annoying nugget.

“It should be three!” the tot repeated.

“Get a life!” Riley snapped at the tot. Just then, her little brother walked into the room in his green striped jammies.

“Good night,” Auggie said sweetly. “I brushed my teeth.”

“You did not,” replied the tot.

Auggie shot a confused look at the end table. “What the…?”

“Auggie,” Mrs. Matthews said, picking up her son and setting him on the window seat cushions between her and Riley. “You are grounded for one week for not telling us your sister snuck out of the house.”

“How is that a bad thing?” Auggie protested. “I was protecting her.”

Satisfied that its work there was done—for the moment, anyway—the tot turned to look at Maya. “Let’s go, blondie. You and I are gonna do a little growin’ up together.”

Maya frowned. “We’re gonna tell my mother, aren’t we?”

“We’re gonna tell her about a lot of stuff,” the tot replied.

“Yeah, okay, let’s go,” Maya agreed with a sigh, picking up the tot and setting it on her shoulder before turning to wave good-bye to the Matthewses. “See you guys in a year!”

As Riley waved to her best friend—and the potato tot—a sense of victory washed over her again. But it felt different this time. She hadn’t won because she’d gotten away with something. She’d won because she was taking responsibility for it. She’d listened to her conscience and grown. But even better than that? Her best friend had done the same thing. They were going to be so ready for college when the time finally came!
