I kissed this out of her head, walked around the table, and joined them
"You want to learn too?" Kai asked.
Kai, sat across from Morgan, his small hands carefully placing the pieces in a pattern. I recognized the game from my childhood. Playing it against my father and Ke when he could be bothered to play with me.
*I believe I know how to play this game. Though we usually play with an actual board." I picked up a piece of fruit from the fruit bowl. "Though I could certainly get behind this version of it."

"Careful, wife. You'll get yourself into more trouble. It's not even our honeymoon yet."
She scowled and looked away from me. "Well, Kai, how do I play?"

Though it was clear that she had a knack for connecting with people, I could have never expected that Ari's child would ever truly like Morgan

"Your turn," Kai announced, his voice filled with a childlike excitement.
It looked like he moved a grape forward. Morgan nodded, her eyes scanning the board. She picked up one of her grapes, hesitated for a moment, then placed it on the board
