"Jake is the one refusing to hear it."

"That was almost 20 years ago. You should've both grown up since then."

"He just wants to arrive in something nice," Timothy said.

I looked at Timothy, waiting for him to tell Jake that the answer was no.

Instead, my husband gave me a tired, pleading look.

That look said Jake would keep pushing until Donna and Craig heard about it, and somehow I would become the difficult one.

"Please," Timothy said. "Do this for me."

I stared at him.

"You want me to hand over our new car because you can't tell him no."

"It's completely fair."

Jake stepped closer.

"I'll bring it back in the morning. Nobody else will drive it. No one will eat inside."

I should've kept the keys, but Timothy looked so relieved that I ignored my own answer.

Jake reached for the keys, but I pulled them back.

"Look at me."

He rolled his eyes and obeyed.

"No food. No drinks. Nobody else drives it. You bring it back by nine tomorrow morning."

He raised two fingers.

"You were never a scout."

Jake took the keys.

Timothy smiled as though the problem had been solved.
