Right now

I am sitting between Mallory and Ryan,
Ryan leaning towards the tv, enthralled in his video game;
Mallory on the couch, drooling over Emma Watson and reading blogs
- we're supposedly working on homework, but of course we're not.

Mallory is reading funny things to us and whistling Harry Potter;
Ryan is rubbing at the back of my hand, thinking my freckles are pen marks.

Right now I am pretending we are our very own quirky little family. Just because I like being here. :)

Right now, is good.
