The toy car hit the wall before it landed upside down on the carpet away from the playpen. The sound pulled Santiago away from his work. He looked up from his computer toward the toy and then his son.
Seemingly surprised that the toy he had thrown was now out of his reach, Kaleth blinked at it. Then looked at Santiago like this was somehow his problem to solve.
Santiago sighed quietly, already pushing back his chair. “You are a menace."
Unsurprisingly, Kaleth grinned. “Papa, give car.” He made grabby hands.
Santiago snorted. “Absolutely no shame.” He walked around his large desk to the sitting area of his office, where he’d set up the playpen for Kaleth. Santiago bent to retrieve the toy and handed it back over the edge of the playpen. Tiny fingers grabbed it immediately.
