sticking out from behind the couch, and then he pulled it back.
Passage 2:
"Yay! I hide first," Jaxon squealed and clapped his hands, and then he
took off running through the house. I started counting slowly and
loudly, but peeked so I could keep my eyes on his whereabouts. His
blond head bobbled behind the couch and then disappeared.
