Jack was reading a book about weather. Annie was looking out the window. “Let’s go do something,” she said. “Too hot,” said Jack. “We could ride our bikes to the lake,” Annie said. “And go swimming.” “No way,” said Jack. “We could-” “Shh, please,” said Jack. “I’m trying to read.” Annie was quiet for a moment.
