Viv was in the kitchen, mashing banana into a small bowl while Beni babbled from his high chair, when Tara appeared behind her, close enough to make her pause. Resting her chin briefly on Viv’s shoulder, Tara smiled and asked what she was doing up so early. Viv didn’t even turn around. "You," she said flatly. "Then Beni." Tara laughed softly, clearly pleased. "See? We’re a team already." She gently nudged Viv toward the hallway. "Go back to bed. You’ll need the energy for streaming later. I’ve got him."
