I play EverQuest II, and Jay practices piano.

Jay and I were sharing a hug and kiss just inside our room as our girls ran past, down the hallway.
Natasha  (4 years old) stopped in her tracks with a soft, “Awww,” and a wispered, “Come’ere” to her little sister.
We held each other a little longer without looking at them, me silently fighting the giggles, [...]
