" Can I ask you a favor?" Matthew says.
"Anything."
That throws him, but only for a moment. "If I do something that might screw this up, would you tell me?"
I set my spoon down. The cereal has gone soggy and I'm beginning to make a mess anyway. "You won't screw this up, Matthew. Mom and Dad aren't like that."
"But–just in case."
"Okay." I carry my bowl to the sink. "Anything else?"
"No." He hestitates. "Maybe."
"What's up?"
"Do you think you could just call me Matt? "
