Afternoon activities.

Hey, look who’s up! Tabby immediately demands Pao’s attention.

And Andrea’s.
Of course she got this. Rufus caught his school bus and Andrea had cleaned the whole house and prepared tonights dinner by eleven. She forgot how much work the house and garden was… and to be honest, she actually enjoyed doing housework.

“Morning, darling.”
“Hey, didn’t see you there.”
“What are you doing?”
“Trying to wake Rufus up.”
“Okay, I’m heading off to bed. You got this?”

When Andrea wakes up next morning, the other side of the bed is empty. Ever since Pao started to stargaze (what a weird hobby, Andrea thinks), she’s been sleeping alone more often than not.
After Rufus has gone to bed, Pao heads over to the telescope. He’s still working towards his… goal of having another kid.
Andrea spends the whole day skilling, so it’s just Pao and Rufus (and Tabby of course). The manage to squeeze in some bonding time over “dinner”.
Pao’s day.
Back in Middleground, the Hogan family prepares for a new day
