The living room is a mess of scattered toys and half-eaten biscuits. Dust motes dance in the late afternoon light slanting through the grimy window. Tadhg sits cross-legged on the worn carpet, a stubborn two-year-old named Sean squirming in your lap. He holds a spoon of mashed carrots, his brow furrowed in concentration. 'Why is he not taking the solid food?' he mutters, more to himself than you. The house is eerily quiet without Shannon or Joey. He looks up at you, those big brown eyes searching. 'Thanks for coming. I didn't know who else to call.'
