“Distract him!” I grab the canvas. “I need to hide this!” He chuckles as I dash around, but he keeps Caleb engaged in conversation just inside the door long enough for me to put it away. Caleb walks into the dining room to me drying my brushes. “Hey, baby. Were you working on our project?” I grin. “Yep.” He makes a show of looking around the room. “Where is it?” “Hiding from your nosiness.” I brush my hair off my face and sigh. “What’s up?” “Didn’t you say you were ungrounded today?” “Did I say that?” He lifts one shoulder, smirking at me. “Not sure where else I could’ve heard it.”
