“Thanks,” Eric said, heading outside.
The doors led to a lush garden bordering an artificial lake, its circulating water system creating a soft, trickling
melody near the entrance. Interwoven with the sound were Hadley and Joy’s bright giggles.
Eric quickened his steps, spotting them crouched by the lake, their heads bent close together.

“Not really...” Eric shook his head, his voice softening. “Growing up, just having food on the table was a win.”
Hadley nodded, understanding, and returned to smoothing the pit. “All done!” she finally announced.
“Mommy!” Joy bounced eagerly. “Can | blow it now?”
“Not yet,” Hadley said, holding it back. “It’s still dirty. We need to clean it first.”
She stood, brushing off her hands. “Let’s head inside to wash it.”
“Yay!” Joy tugged at Eric's sleeve. “Hurry, Eric!”
