The next morning. Franklin, Isabella, and Julia arrived early at the stadium where Isabella’s competition would take place.

Not long after, Harry and Daisy arrived as well.

Upon seeing them, Isabella greeted with a smile, “Uncle, Daisy, you’re here!”

Daisy came over and held Isabella’s hand. “Your match is about to start–are you nervous, Isabella?”

Isabella, however, remained calm and composed. She shook her head. “Not at all.”

Harry had other business to attend to–he was only here to drop Daisy off.

Knowing he was in a hurry, Franklin said, “I’ll look after Daisy. Go take care of your work.”

Harry nodded. “Alright, I’ll come back around noon and have lunch with you guys.”

“Sounds good.”

The bond between the two still seemed as strong as ever.
