Snap out of it

I was only half listening to the conversation.

“Ethan?”

I blinked. “Yeah?”

She smiled. “Where’d you just go?”

“Nowhere. Sorry.”

Sarah laughed. “You were completely zoned out.”

Mrs. Morgan smiled from across the room.

Sarah looked at me again. “So, what’s the plan for dinner?”

I shrugged. “I don’t know. What do you guys want?”

Mrs. Morgan looked at Sarah. “I’m fine with whatever.”

Sarah thought for a second. “Why don’t we all go somewhere together?”

“Works for me,” I said.

Mrs. Morgan nodded. “Sounds good.”

Sarah stood and grabbed her jacket.

“Perfect. Let’s go find somewhere.”

I got up and followed them toward the door, trying to put my wandering thoughts aside as we headed out for dinner together.
