Finish dinner

"Yeah, I am kind hungry now after all that," Max said.

Sherrie and Max returned to the living room and sat down at the table to finish dinner. The other family members had mostly finished their meals and soon turned in for the night. After thanking Sherrie for dinner, Andy went to read a book in bed. Jill completely absorbed in messaging her friends, took her phone into her bedroom. Kevin asked if he could keep using Max's computer to play his RPG. Max agreed. Sherrie and and Max were alone once more.

"So you're getting the hang of that ring, huh?"

Max gestured at the room around them. While they were finishing their meals, Sherrie had overhauled their environment. The worn antique couch became modern and inviting. The TV transformed into a flat screen. Various potted plants and paintings decorated the walls. The tabletop they were eating on became pristine expensive marble.

"Yes! Isn't it wonderful?" Sherrie said bursting with excitement. "I have a feeling things are going to go very well for all of us from now on!"

"Shouldn't we use it to like.. solve world hunger or climate change or something?" Max asked.

"I thought about that too. I think we should wait until we test it a bit more first. Making big changes like that might be dangerous. We need to be careful. We'll just use it for simple stuff for now until we figure out exactly how it works, okay?" Sherrie reasoned.

Max smiled. "It's probably for the best that you have it. You seem to have much better control than I did."

Sherrie giggled, "I don't blame you darling. You boys and your hormones. It must've been hard for you to control yourself."

Max rolled his eyes. "..and with that, I'm heading to bed."

"Max wait!"

Max turned around. Sherrie looked hesitant.

"Can I tuck you in? Please?"
