“There,” Tucker said, stepping back from his handiwork.

He and Chelsea were in her room, looking at the new computer he had just put together for her. Danny and Sam sat on Chelsea’s bed doing homework. Jacob spun around in the desk chair. They looked up when Tucker spoke. Chelsea grinned from ear to ear.

“Thanks, Tucker!” she said. “This looks great!”

“Almost,” Tucker said. “I just need to do cable management.”

“What’s that?” Chelsea asked.

Tucker crawled under the desk and started fiddling with the wires. “Making the cables look nice. The best cable management is when you put them through the wall, but obviously, we can’t do that for your computer.

“Yeah, my dad wouldn’t be too happy about that,” Chelsea said.

“I could put them in the wall,” Danny said, making his hand glow. Everyone laughed.
