“I really have to talk to you alone, Uncle Jake. I need you to talk with my parents about me going to this party on Friday. It’s really, really important.
Anyone who counts is going to be there. I know they’ll listen to you. Please?” she pleaded.
“Marisa, I already know about the party. The kid’s parents won’t be there. I agree with your parents on this one. You’re just asking for trouble with no adults there. Plus, I’m not at the top of your mother’s good list right now.” He rubbed his aching forehead.
“So, your answer is no? I thought you loved me,” she whined.
“I do, I’m just not talking to them about this. Maybe I should let this kid’s parents know he’s planning on having a wild party while they’re away.” He studied her.
“You can’t, Uncle Jake. Promise me you won’t. I wouldn’t be able to show my face in school ever again. Please promise?” Marisa begged.
“I’ll think about it, now scram.”
Sophia walked into the room.
“Aren’t you mean first thing in the morning? How do you feel today?”
“Crowded.”
