After dinner Eli retreated into his study to look something up. Thoughts always seemed to present themselves at the worst of time. While his research and current theories were never far from his mind, it did seem like a waste to be busied by it when they did have the house to themselves. Not that Eli particularly liked when Jason went with Benji, but he did notice that it seemed to lighten the burden off his wife's shoulders. He didn't need to be a genius to figure out why.
"If knew we were playing hide and seek, I would have hid better." His tone was light, matching the easy smile on his face because it was difficult to be anything other than pleased with a lap full of Samara with that look on her face. "You know, to build the anticipation and all, but I can't say that I am that upset with our current predicament."
With a careful flick of his wand, the books and notes out on the desk zipped away to their proper storage places. He had a good feeling about where this was going to go and he would hate to ruin any of his work in the process. Once that was sorted, he set his wand down and wrapped his arms around her, leaning up to kiss her.
