Eli raised his eyebrow at her. "You aren't expected to tell anyone anything, Nat. Cmon let's get back before Erin eats all the lox."

She stood up, nodding. "Hey, Eli? Could you...kiss me first?"

Eli kissed her, on the forehead and then the lips.

Eli led her back to the table.
"Are you okay?" Erin asked, drinking her chocolate milk.

She nodded. "I am. I--sorry. I'm on...special medication. It makes me...sensitive."

Rachel shrugged. "Please child. My kids run storming off all the time. You don't have anything to be sorry about."
Charlie waved his fork in Natalie's direction. "When I was on those antibiodics last year after my knee surgery, I got mad for no reason all the time!"
Eli rolled his eyes. "Then what's Erin's excuse?"
"HEY." Erin threw a grape at him.

Natalie smiled. She liked Eli's family. A lot. They seemed so normal. So supportive of each other. Loving.

"So what is everyone's plan's for the week?" Rachel asked, refilling her hash browns.
"I'm going to apply for summer internships with Dave in New York," Erin announced.
Charlie nodded. "Sounds great! In what?"
"Advertising firms." Erin told him proudly. Rachel nodded.
"I'm going to find a job," Eli announced.
"DUDE. That's MINE." Eric said, shocked.
"That's yours every week, you bum. I'm actually serious." Eli said.
"You don't have time, between homework and community service..." Rachel began, frowning.
Eli shrugged. "I'm gonna start looking, that's all."
"Wonderful!" Charlie announced. "My goal is to clean the garage."
Rachel nodded approvingly. "Natalie?"

Natalie blinked at her. "My...plan? For the week?"
David grinned. "They ask me too. Mine's summer internships, of course. And volunteering to tutor math after school."

"Please say my daughter is on the other end of that tutoring," Rachel said, and Erin grumbled.
Eli shrugged. "it's really informal, its just something we do...keeps everyone updated on each other's lives."

Natalie blinked again. "Oh. I--" Her parents had never asked her what her plans were. Not once.

Rachel smiled. "Just think about it, dear. I'm planning on finding time to organize my closet. Also visit my mother in the home."
Erin chirped up. "Oh, I'll come with you to see Grandma!"

Natalie thought of something, glancing at Eli. "I'm gonna quit smoking."

Eli grinned. "That's great!"
Nobody else really knew what to say, so they just nodded, eating away.
