Alex nodded, but in the back of his mind, he was debating something. He had seen the pack of Goodnites in Jake's closet earlier. He wasn't sure if he should bring it up or just let it go. Maybe it was an old pack? Maybe they belonged to someone else?

He glanced at Jake, debating whether or not to say anything. In the end, he decided against it. If Jake wanted to talk about it, he would.

Jake laid awake, staring at the ceiling, thinking back about Alex and his closet. His mind raced with thoughts, wondering if Alex had seen the Goodnites. If he did, why didn't he say anything? Would he think it was weird? Would he treat me differently? The questions spiraled in his head, making it hard to fall asleep.

He turned onto his side, glancing over at Alex, who seemed to be fast asleep. With a quiet sigh, Jake closed his eyes, hoping tomorrow would just be another normal day.
