Placement of Adverb

In the final sentence, I was expecting "ensemble" to be placed immediately after "lit", as reading is the thing being done together. Can someone explain why it isn't, please?

Hi Chris,

This is a question of stylistics, 'ensemble' sounds better at the end, in a story but you could place it after the verb if you prefer.
