Reconciliation telling the kids

Hi posted on here before about my ex (seperated over one year ago) and me working to get back together.
The seperation was hard on my then 6 yr old who desperatly wanted us all together.

Eventually we all adjusted and settled into our seperate parenting routines and family roles but I cannot forget how devestating it was for dd.
So I agreed to work on things but not tell our now 7 yr old in case it got hopes up only to be shattered again.
So he has stayed over arriving after bed time and leaving before dd gets up. But yesterday dd must have heard the door and asked if daddy stayed over and if it was because we are trying to be friends again.
He is keen to tell her we are trying to work things out but I think this is too much uncertainty for a child and its better to wait. Having said that i now dont know how to field the question . He has stayed before in the spare room during the snow because it was hard for him to get back home which was explained to dd. But this wasnt the case this time.
Id be keen to know what others think in terms of children at this age?
