Saffron PoV
Sil eventually fell asleep on the floor beside his little niece.
Alli giggled. "Didn't think he was gonna tucker out."
"Sil sure makes up for Saf being so quiet," Ma said.
I just stared at her and rubbed my neck.
"It's not a bad thing, hun," Ma said, shaking her hands. "If anything, I sometimes wish Sil was more like you."
I tilted my head slightly. "Like me?"
"Yeah, more calm and relaxed. Sometimes, it can be hard to work around the house with him running around everywhere."
True... Before marrying Rose, I often had to distract my brother from bothering Ma whenever I was home. He would practically bounce off the walls with his seemingly boundless energy. One time, Alli even joked about getting him a big hamster wheel and powering the house with the energy he produced. I said that Sil probably would overload the grid. And Sil was only four and five back then.
