I turned toward Eli.
“And you?”
Eli leaned back dramatically like a tiny exhausted professor.
“Hm,” he said thoughtfully. “He pays attention to details.”
I stayed quiet.
“But I don’t like how he tries to please us all the time,” he continued. “Also…” He paused seriously. “He’s kind of boring.”
I burst out laughing before I could stop myself.
“Eli.”
“What? He is.”
Ava nodded immediately. “A little.”
God help Dave Ashton.
I shook my head slowly, still laughing slightly.
“So would you want him to continue being around?”
That made both of them quieter.
Not uncomfortable.
Just thoughtful.

Entire silent sibling conversation happening right in front of me,
Finally Elí shrugged lightly.
“Hm. He could keep trying.”
Ava nodded once.
“There’s no harm.”
I stared at them carefully.
“Really?”
Ava frowned slightly.

“It’s okay if you don’t want him around though.”
That surprised me.
“What?”
She shrugged.

Apparently they had “excellent survival instincts.”
Apparently Eli had now developed a borderline academic obsession with them.
Ava eventually sighed deeply halfway through his explanation.
“He’s been talking about giant rats for three days.”
“They are NOT rats,”
“They literally look like rats.”
“Educationally inaccurate.” !

I laughed so hard at one point my stomach hurt.
And honestly?
I needed that.
Desperately.
