Riley POV
The children decided Luca and I needed help.
They did not say it directly at first, but I should have understood something was wrong when the twins behaved politely through breakfast. Leo did not complain about his cereal, Max did not hide anything beneath the table, and neither of them asked why Luca and I had barely spoken since the night he found me asleep beside their homework.

I knew they were planning something.
I also knew asking would only make them lie.
