Anne twirled in her pretty pink dress, crystals on the hem catching the light and sparkling with every move. She looked just like a little angel.
Her voice, sweet and innocent, filled the room and made everyone smile for real, not just out of politeness. People clapped along to the beat, encouraging her.
Max watched his daughter with soft, proud eyes. He looked every inch the loving dad, overflowing with pride and warmth as he listened.
When Anne finished singing, the whole room burst into applause and praise. Suddenly shy, she blushed and darted toward Max, hiding her face in his chest as he knelt down to hug her tight.
Everyone laughed at the adorable scene.
Max scooped Anne up, brushed his hand gently over her hair, and smiled. “You sang beautifully, Anne.”
Since this little girl arrived, the whole house felt warmer, like she brought new light with her.
At dinner, Max kept an eye on Anne while eating. She sat quietly in her booster seat, eating her food without a fuss, the perfect picture of a well-behaved child.
Out of nowhere, Anne looked up. “Granny, where’s Luke? Why isn’t he here?”
Luke always treated her especially well, bringing her little gifts all the time. Anne liked him a lot.
Rose smiled at her, softening her voice. “Luke had something to do tonight. How about we play with himnext time?”
Anne nodded right away. “Okay.”
After dinner, Paul and Randy built Lego sets with Anne in the living room. The twins were ten now and already so tall. They looked so much alike that Anne still mixed them up all the time.
The two boys adored their cute little cousin. They always made sure to save her a share of toys and presents. Sometimes, they even argued over whose gift Anne liked more, and it was always up to her to settle things and get them to make up.
Because of the kids, Max and Daniel were talking more often these days, keeping in touch in ways they hadn’t before.
By nine, Anne was sleepy, rubbing her eyes and yawning. Max picked her up, ready to take her to bed.
But Tatiana came over and gently took Anne from his arms. “We can keep Anne company tonight. You go get some rest.”
Max hesitated. “She might wake up and cry.”
Felicia got into Greg’s car and they drove to West Hill Residence, the fancy villa Greg bought a couple years ago. It cost over a hundred million, and now the whole family lived there.
When they got home, Ava and Colton were waiting up for them.
“Welcome back.”
“Hi, Dad. Hi, Mom.”
Felicia asked, “Is Sean asleep?”
Sean was Ava and Colton’s little boy, just turned one last year.
Colton had fully retired and looked younger than ever. He spent his days fishing, playing cards, and mostly taking care of his wife and son. Their happy marriage was something everyone admired.
“I just got him to sleep,” Ava said.
Felicia went to peek in on Sean. He was so tiny and cute, fast asleep in his little bed.
