Arabella came downstairs fresh from her bath, to see the sky filled with bursting fireworks. Louisa, wearing a tender smile, beckoned, "Bella, come over, let's take a group picture!"
A famous photographer and his team were waiting under the fireworks. Under the dazzling night sky, Kenneth and Louisa, both wearing gentle smiles, hold each of their daughter's hands, "We've always wanted to take a photo with you, but never got the chance. Serena just happened to be out with her friends."
This worked out nicely, a photo with just the three of them. After all, they were the ones who were blood-related.
"But, I'm in my PJs." Arabella said.
Before Arabella could finish her sentence, Kenneth and Louisa burst out laughing, "No worries, no worries."
They had deliberately worn their PJs too, to look more like a family. They wanted to capture this slice of life moment.
"Alright, everyone squeeze in! Mr. Collins, your collar is a bit crooked. Mrs. Collins, chin down a bit. Arabella, could you give a bigger smile?" The photographer said.
Arabella flashed a bright smile as the camera clicked away.
"Switch places, switch places!" Louisa happily traded places with Kenneth.
The fireworks in the sky served as their backdrop, both of them holding Arabella's hands, their faces glowing with happiness.
Arabella had never felt her parents' love so intensely, The way they doted on her, as if she were their most precious treasure.
"Alright, let's change it up." The photographer took more candid shots in the living room after the garden shoot.
Arabella, held closely by her parents, felt a warmth she had never felt before.
