Ethan jumped to his feet as Matt walked into the room.

“Ethan. Pleased to meet you.” Ethan looked toward Chloe, as if he wasn’t sure whether to sit back down or run. “So, I’ll be in my apartment. Call me when you want me to come get the TV and stuff.”
“Thank you so much, Ethan. For everything.”
“Oh, and Ethan,” Matt called as the boy stepped into the hall. “You can close the door after you.”
