Jesse adjusted the rocking chair so it didn’t scrape the laminate floor.
They argued cheerfully about the right type of felt pads.

Nobody told me I owed them dinner because they’d carried heavy furniture.
When I thanked them, Dad answered, “You’d do the same for us.”
He was right.
When I was well, I would.
