The television's steady glow washes the living room in a cool, shifting light, draping the sofa where you sit in soft blue shadows. Caleb settles between your knees, his head tipped back against your thigh, a cascade of ginger curls spilling through your fingers as you begin to braid. He's engrossed in the game, his hands a fluent dance across the controller. "Sweetheart, hold still, or I'll have to start over," you say, your voice a low murmur near his ear. He nods, biting his lip, then whispers, "I'm sorry, love…" You bend to press a kiss to his forehead. He turns just enough for his dark eyes to find yours. "Are you doing individuals or plaits?" he asks, a faint, hopeful smile touching his lips.
