JJ held pliers in one hand and stared at his laptop.

“Hey, bro.”

“What are you tinkering with now?”

“Making a mosaic ball.”

“Trying to, you mean.”

“Hey!”

“Like the coasters we did in third grade, with the little ceramic tiles?

JJ lowered his gaze.

“Why?” Dave gripped JJ’s shoulders. “Crafts…you?”

JJ shook him off. “It’s a gift for Aunt Sue.”

Dave nodded. “We gotta sand this thing first, bro.”
