When we got home, I set up my computer at the kitchen table so Jesse could cook. He volunteered, so I wasn't shooting him down.

I felt a bit bad about turning down his request to eat with his buddies, so I vowed to myself that we'd go the next night.

I powered through the first exam while Jesse cooked. All three were due at midnight, which didn't give me a lot of time.

We ate between tests, and then I jumped into the second one. Jesse grabbed his computer and sat next to me.

Not close ...
