As Jacquelyn enjoyed breakfast with her family, she couldn't stop smiling. How she had missed these little moments, something so ordinary yet significant.
Watching Chaos and Iva bicker, Layla trying to avoid vegetables, and Ballister ensuring everyone was comfortable, it was wholesome, and Jacquelyn would give the world to witness it every day.
As she was eating, she noticed Kael and Ryver having a conversation just outside. Jacquelyn moved her chair back and slipped out of the dining room to meet Kael. Even if it was for a minute, she didn't want to be separated from him anymore.
"Excuse me," Jacquelyn gave others a small bow, then left the dining room. As soon as she stepped outside, Ryver walked away, leaving the couple alone.
"I didn't see you in the room when I stepped out to dress up," Jacquelyn said, going to stand in front of Kael.
