A quiet night at the O’Briens. Keiko is working at the table with some Padds as Miles enters from Molly’s room.
Miles: Molly loves that book Jake gave her. She made me read it three times before she fell asleep.
Keiko smiles distractedly, keeps working. Miles flops down on the couch, looks around for something to do… but can’t think of anything and lets out an unconscious sigh. Keiko looks up.
Keiko: I’m going to be working for another few hours.
Miles picks a PADD off the coffee table, tries to sound enthusiastic.
Miles: That’s okay… I’ll…read…
Keiko: If you want to go do something…
Miles: I’m fine.
Keiko shrugs a smile, gets back to work. A quiet moment… then Miles lets out another unconscious sigh as he reads.
