The question about dad stung him, since he knew that he would have to lie to his sister about all of this.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff99">"Uncle just knew that he was going to be busy today, and he figured the best place to meet up with him would be at his office. As far as dad is concerned, he is fine. Work is busy, but that's the same as always. I think he may be coming by the office later too, so you should get to see him at some point while we are there. We don't really have the time to head back to your room unfortunately, and besides you have plenty of clothes back home still. Besides, if that was your roommate she probably wouldn't want to see me right now."</span>He laughed a bit and started digging into some food, starving from everything that was going on.<br/><br/>When she brought up math he laughed out loud and smiled.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff99">"Glad to know that all of those lessons payed off. Couldn't have my little sis failing out of math with a brain like yours. All it took was a little bit of time and practice. Now you can probably beat me at it, since you went to collage."</span>He took his time, eating and laughing with her just enjoying life for a bit. Once a break in the conversation hit he looked at her and asked,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff99">"Is it odd to feel happy and sad at the same time because someone misses you? Cause I'm sad that you miss me because that mean that you aren't happy. I'm also happy because it means that you want me to be around."</span><br/><br/>Michael had a thoughtful look on his face, then turned to her seriously.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff99">"You  know what? That is probably it. When the main person that cooks for you could literally burn water, you know that you should avoid the kitchen. Remember when she tried to make a cake and ended up spilling boiling cake batter all over dad?"</span>
