Suddenly, the joyful laughter had vanished as the children became tense, and Francesca appeared to be somewhat uneasy.

To remedy the awkwardness, Charlotte quickly lifted her glass. “It's not every day that we get to have dinner together like this, so I'd like to propose a toast!”

Zachary then lifted his glass as well to join in. Naturally, he had a non-alcoholic beverage in it.
