“Tell him.”
Luke sighed.
“Mom, please tell her she’s not touching this.”

Everything stopped.
Luke looked at me.

For a second, I saw the old panic in his face.
Emma rolled her eyes.

“Fine. Ask your mom. You’re both annoying.”
Luke blinked.
Then he laughed.
A second later, they were arguing about the hammer again.
The house wasn’t silent anymore.
I watched them from the porch.
The house wasn’t silent anymore.
And nobody had to leave to make room for someone else.
