"Hey champ, you doing okay?"
"Is something wrong?"
"No, no, just coming to say goodnight."
"Hey, I know today was a lot. Are the blankets okay? Is the bed comfortable?"
"I’m alright."
"Can I... ask you something?"
"What’s wrong?"
"Would you want to stay with us? You don’t have to go back to the mall if you don’t want to."
"I can? Stay?"
"When does the competition start?"
"What?"
"Or do you want me to cook? Clean? Take care of the house?"
"VCR, you don’t have to do anything for us. I know we just met but you’re still family. You’re always welcome in our home."
"I’m family?"
"Of course you are."
"You don’t have to make a decision tonight, but would you think it over for me?"
"At least stay a couple of days with us. I’d love to get to know you."
"Me?"
"Yes, you."
"Goodnight, VCR. I love you."
"I’ll see you in the morning, okay?"
"... Okay."
