"Still not there yet, huh?" I say, grinning as Jamie wrinkles his nose. "Yeah, well. Give it time. And you know you can always come to me if you have questions."

With one arm still around Jamie I lean over to grab my coffee, taking a long drink even if it's gotten cold.

"If you guys ever want some privacy, you're always welcome here. Maybe when it's warmer you guys could even pitch a tent in the backyard or something some weekend," I tell him, licking coffee from my upper lip. "Or you could get emancipated. That's what I did when I got here."
