it's Family Time!” Gabe was clearly not happy about my decision to interrupt what had already been a fairly tumultuous meal.
    “What happened to the rules??” Naturally, Noah had to give me a hard time, too.
    “Oh come on, rules were made to be broken!” Before any of them had a chance to say anything else, I ran for the patio door and rushed outside to take my call.
    Gabe was still shaking his head.
    “You think that's the guy from Thursday night?” He was looking over at Jason.
    “Probably.”
    “She must really like him.” Gabe was beginning to soften again.
    “Yeah, I think so,” Jason agreed. Then he noticed Noah’s silence.
    “Hey Noah, what's with you?  You're being too quiet.”
    Noah looked up from his plate with a mischievous gleam in his eyes. When he spoke, he lowered his voice to be sure the conversation would only be audible right there at the table where they sat.
    “I saw her naked.”
    “Who?  Living room girl?  Yeah, we all saw her naked.” Jason wasn’t seeing the significance of his statement.
    “No, not her. Well, yeah, but no that's not who I mean.  I saw Lucky naked.” He had raised his voice a little towards the end and was now looking over towards the patio to make sure I was still way out of earshot.
    J ason looked at him curiously.
    “When?”
    “This morning.  She must have thought I was still sleeping or something 'cause she was in her room changing and she left the door cracked.” He was grinning so broadly, he looked as though he might break into an uncontrollable giggle at any moment.
    “Did you see her tattoo?” Gabe asked probingly.
    Noah looked across the table at him. “No.”
    Gabe smirked and shook his head. “Then, you didn't see her naked.”
    “What's the tattoo?  Where is it?  Wait, you've seen her naked?” Noah hadn’t expected this sudden turn in the conversation.
    “Uh-huh.  I see her naked all the time.  We share a bathroom.” Gabe casually poked a piece of sausage with his fork and shoved it into his mouth.
    “And what?  That means you shower together?!” Noah was getting agitated.
    Gabe just waved his hand at him and calmly said, “Don't be jealous, it's not an attractive look on you.”
    Then Noah turned his focus on Jason, “What about you?  Have you seen her naked, too?”
    “Are you going to hit me if I say yes?” Jason pretended to duck behind the maple syrup.
    “Are you kidding me?” Exasperated, Noah reached for his glass and began chugging his juice like it was vodka.
    “Calm down.  We hit some nude beaches together when we went to Europe.  All of Spain saw her naked.” If Jason had meant for this information to ease Noah’s sudden onset of frustration, it didn’t work.
    “Well, that's just great.  So, what you're saying is that you, Gabe, and Spain have seen her naked.  And I'm the only one who hasn't. You know the part that really kills me is the tattoo. Just tell me where it is.  It's crazy hot right?”
    Right then, the back door opened and I came back inside. I happily waltzed back to my chair and sat back down. Looking around the table as though nothing had happened I asked, “So, what did I miss?”
    “Never mind that, who was on the phone?  Was it lover boy from Thursday night?” Jason wasn’t going to let me off that easily.
    “Maybe.” I knew there was no point in hiding it any longer.
    “Ok, but if you guys go out again, this time try to work in a ride home.  You shouldn't be the kind of girl that hangs around Main Street after midnight.” Gabe had been shaking his fork back and forth at me throughout his entire speech.
    “Definitely securing a ride home ahead of time.  Of course, I kind of thought I had that covered last time, too.  Is something wrong, Noah?  Why are you staring at me?” I looked at him with his eyes locked on me as though I was hiding a golden egg in my pants.
    “Oh, he's just trying to picture you naked,” Jason replied very matter-of-factly.
    “ Ew, stop it you,
