Magic 8 Ball, will the readers get to learn more about Ricky this chapter?

Concentrate and ask again

“I made chicken, fried potatoes, and corn. Sage told me you were only allergic to peanuts,” I make small talk as we walk into the house.

“Alright,” Ricky replies.

I lead them down the hall to the kitchen.

“So I just have to finish on dessert,” I begin, turning around and seeing Ricky’s hand in Sage’s back pocket.

I clear my throat, giving Ricky the evil eye.

Strike one.

He removes his hand with an apologetic look.

“You kids can go and, I don’t know, play or something…” I turn around to the stove, then back around.

They pause from the entrance of the kitchen and the two teenagers turn to look at me.

“Actually, don’t play,” I say, recalling the stories I’ve read about the pregnant thirteen year olds.

I don’t think Sage would turn into one of those kids, but hey, it’s always the ones you least suspect.

“Go to the living. Introduce him to your dad, Sagery,” I order.

“Alright,” Sage mutters, grabbing Ricky’s hand and leading him out of the kitchen.

I turn back to the stove and pull the brownies out of the oven.

Without an oven mitt.

Again.

I drop the pan again and yelp, pulling my hand back.

I blow cool air on it and rush over to the kitchen sink.

I turn on cool water and push my hand under it.

“What did you do?” A male voice asks from right behind me.

“I pulled the damn pan out again,” I grumble, concentrating on my hand.

Suddenly arms wrap around my waist, and they pull me back from the sink.
