When Cher and her husband arrived, the yard was already bustling with people. Adults were sipping tea under the eaves while teenagers lit fireworks, arranging them in patterns.

“Devin, you fool! Stacking them so high will blow you up!”

“It won’t, Stanley. Trust me, it’ll look amazing.”

“If you set my house on fire, I’ll move in with you tomorrow!”

“C’mon, nerd! I won’t do it again. Hey, Stanley, why did you kick me?”

“Because you listened to him and disobeyed me. You deserve a beating!”

A rowdy group of teens was filled with energy, building a long chain of fireworks. They ever tried to make Quinlyn the center of attention but got stopped by Larry.

“Let Quinlyn lead; she might create a cool pattern in the sky,” Cher remarked.

Elowyn happily handed her tea, saying, “Kids just want to have fun. Quinlyn usually behaves and loves spending time with her brothers.”

“Unlike you, who was so serious as a child, you didn’t play with others; I had to be shameless to be your friend.”

Cher paused for a moment, lost in memories from long ago, which she tried to forget.

“Yeah, I should thank you, Elowyn. With you around, my childhood wasn’t so lonely,” she said, holding her cup and watching the lights reflect in the water, feeling a warmth.

“It’s cold now; you drink this,” Zane said as he reached over to switch her tea, then held her fingers briefly and took out some gloves for her to wear.

Seeing them being affectionate, Elowyn chuckled. “If you two had kids, you’d be all mushy every day.”

Cher smiled but instinctively placed a hand on her belly.
