It was a typical evening, and the energy in your house was vibrant. Your daughter and Leo were having the time of their lives, their laughter echoing through the living room as they played together like two peas in a pod. They had grown so close over the past few months, and it was clear they were inseparable.

As the evening grew later, it was time for Leo to head home. Gavi had dropped him off earlier, and now, as the sun dipped below the horizon, it was time for him to pick Leo up again. But the kids, of course, weren’t ready to call it a night.

They begged, pleaded, their little voices full of excitement, asking if Leo could stay just a bit longer so they could keep playing. You glanced at Pablo, who was leaning against the doorframe, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

“Well, I guess I can’t say no, can I?” he laughed, rubbing the back of his neck. The kids cheered, bouncing on their feet as they celebrated their victory, and you shared a smile with Pablo, knowing the evening would stretch on just a little bit longer.
