Eventually their chatter turned to other things, and it was getting late so everyone got ready to go home or head to bed. Zach finished putting the trash out and when he came back inside, he heard Zayne and Brinxton's door shut behind them. Zach double checked that everything was cleaned up and in place before he went up the stairs and into the bathroom to wash his face and get ready for bed.

Diego laid awake for a while, ruminating over what he had heard and deciding how he felt about it. At first there had been a swell of excitement, a feeling that anything was possible.
