Where: Rob's family's home
When: Sunday afternoon
NPCs: Rob's family (Lacey, Travis, Coach)
The cozy living room of Rob's parents' house was full, full of people, of food, of noise and laughter. The first football game of the afternoon had just started on the television. Rob's stepdad, who everyone called Coach, and a couple of his buddies were on one sofa, their conversation stopping for a moment as the first kickoff started the game. The other couch was taken up by Rob, who took up half of it by himself, Valentin, and Rob's five year old brother Travis, who had already made sure to tell Valentin a few times that he was five now, not four anymore.
