The evening had settled in, the glow of the fading daylight replaced by the soft warmth of indoor lights. Your daughter and Leo were in their own little world, the sound of their giggles and footsteps echoing through the living room as they played, oblivious to the time. They had quickly become best friends, and watching them together brought a warmth to your heart.

As the evening wore on, you knew it was getting close to bedtime, and it was time for Leo to head back home. Pedri had dropped him off earlier, and now it was time to pick him up. But as expected, the kids weren’t ready to stop playing just yet.

They pleaded, their voices filled with excitement, asking if Leo could stay just a little longer so they could finish their game. You and Pedri exchanged a glance, both of you smiling at their enthusiasm.

“Well, I guess I can’t say no, can I?” Pedri said with a soft chuckle, his eyes warm as he looked at you. You laughed, nodding in agreement, and the kids celebrated their little victory.
