Josh Batton nodded obediently, then headed into the kitchen while his parents sat back down to chat with Annabeth Cates.

“Tell me, Annabeth, has Josh been good to you lately? You can complain to me if he’s done anything to upset you,” Sharon said.

“Yeah, we’d teach him a lesson if that was the case,” her husband said.

They both had eager looks in their eyes.

They seemed to be waiting for Annabeth to complain about their son so that they could punish him.

She laughed helplessly. “There’s nothing to complain about as he’s very good to me. I’d give him a ten out of ten for his service.”

“Oh, really?” Wilson asked.

“Yeah.”

“I suppose Josh wouldn’t dare treat you poorly," Sharon said. "Oh, right. Annabeth, I’ve brought you some of your favorite snacks. Here, have some.”

With that, she retrieved some snacks and arranged them in a row. The varieties included beef jerky, candied fruit, biscuits, and chips.

Opening a box of beef jerky, Sharon directly fed Annabeth one. “Here, Darling. Have a bite.”

Annabeth accepted the offer sheepishly, nodding as she chewed on it. “This tastes great! It's my favorite.”

The beef jerky had a familiar taste and texture.
