The playroom didn't stay neat for more than ten minutes.
Lily made sure of that. Blocks everywhere. A half-built tower leaning. A toy truck overturned near the rug.
Kyle sat on the floor in the middle of it. Not stiff. Not careful. Just sitting.
Lily crouched across from him, both hands moving fast, rearranging pieces like she'd already decided what they were building.
"No, this goes here." She pushed a block into place before Kyle could finish what he was doing. "If you put it there, it falls."
"It didn't fall," Kyle said. Not annoyed. Just stating it.
"It will fall."
Leo sat beside them, slightly behind, his tablet against his knee. He typed something, paused, then turned the screen toward Lily.
Lily glanced at it. "He says it's fine. But we should make it stronger."
Leo frowned. Tapped again.
Lily looked this time. "Oh." She blinked. "He says you should make it stronger."
