"So, explain to me again—how exactly is this supposed to help us?" Lily raised an eyebrow at Cai, who seemed far too enthusiastic about his latest idea.
Cai grinned, leaning back casually. "Trust me, it's going to help. We need to build up our teamwork, and what better way than playing a few rounds of online games?"
She gave him a skeptical look. "We're going to improve our teamwork… by gaming?"
"Uh-huh!" he nodded. "We'll play all sorts of games, get some practice working as a team in different settings. You know things like these are what make couples fight the most? Chores and hobbies? So, we will work on these first. Become a team in gaming and hobbies and then, tomorrow, I'll take you to town—you might want to start preparing the bigger house. Now that the weather's clearing, we should be ready for Dora and the others. They could show up any day now, probably without warning. Their version of an 'announcement' will be the helicopter touching down in the backyard."
