A wide grin split Arthur’s face. He bounced on the balls of his feet as he watched Leo, his seven-year-old son, meticulously arrange the miniature soldiers on the battlefield. Years he'd spent hunched over this very table, lost in the intricacies of historical warfare. Now, Leo devoured it – the research, the painting, the strategizing. Arthur’s heart swelled. He'd poured his passion into these tiny figures, and now, it wasn't just his hobby anymore; it was a shared world. The clink of plastic on wood as Leo repositioned a regiment was music to Arthur's ears.
