When they got home, Aubrey made a beeline for Angel's playroom where he was driving the toy car he got for his fifth birthday. When he saw her, he got out for Aubrey to have a turn.
Damon ruffled his hair and then hugged Aubrey. "Are you sleeping over?"
She nodded, bouncing on her heel happily. He helped her into the car and hid the remote control behind him as he made the car go laps around the humongous room. It always made the kids happy when they thought they were driving the car on their own.
When Avery joined him, he pulled her closer to him and pressed his lips agaisnt her forehead while one hand hovered over the button to make a turn as soon as Aubrey got close to the wall.
He knew she was thinking about something that was troubling her so as soon as the kids lost interest in driving and moved on to another game, he pulled her out of the room and asked, "what's wrong?"
