Dan pressed his hands to the toy shelf, eyes wide. “Papa, can I have this one? Please?”
Riley crouched beside him, forcing a gentle smile. “Maybe for your birthday, sweetheart. Not today.”

“Let him have it,” came a voice behind him.
Riley turned. Avery stood there in simple clothes, exhausted but soft-eyed.
