Eli has promised to let him visit and he will come home every other weekend. The only people at the house are Isabella(I), Michael(M), Eli(E), Blake(B), Tristan(T) and Gabe(G).
Michael is doing the cooking, and the boys are swimming. Isabella is laying out sunbathing on one of the chairs. The boys will talk in the pool.

(B) I know, I am just sad. It is going to be different without you being home.
(T) You will have us though. You can stay anytime you get lonely. Gabe and I love you like our own brother.
(G) We do.
(B) I know, thank you.
They go back to swimming and are enjoying their time. Michael tells everyone food is ready and they sit at the patio. They all eat and they will talk.
(M) Tristan are you sure it is ok if Blake stays with you for three days?
(T) I am sure.

(B) Thank you.
(T) This food is really good.
(M) Thank you.
(E) Dad always knows how to cook well.
(M) I learned it from my wife.
(I) You better give me some credit.
Everyone laughs. It is getting later in the afternoon.
(M) We are all done eating. Why don't yall all go shower and then yall can hang out and head home soon. We need to be in bed by eight. We have an early morning.
(E) Yes sir.
The boys head upstairs, and Eli stops everyone.
(E) Blake you can shower with me. Tristan can use your room, and Gabe can use the one downstairs.
(T) Ok.
(G) Thank you.
(B) Are you sure?
(E) I am sure come on.
All the boys head their separate ways, and they take their showers. They all finish up and they head to Eli's room. They all sit on the bed and the couch. They play some games and hang out. Blake is cuddled up to his big brother the whole time. Tristan knows the love they share. It is so sweet. Blake is going to be so lost without his big brother. Tristan and Gabe are going to have to step it up for him. Their parents are great, but they work a lot, and they get home late. It is almost eight. Tristan hugs Blake and tells Gabe and Blake to go get their shoes on. This leaves Eli and Tristan in a room together.
