“Hiram, that’s enough. Your father isn’t fond of public displays of affection,” Karina chimed in, and a warm smile graced her face. The cheerfulness she constantly exuded was reminiscent of Gloria.

What was I doing, watching my ex-husband and his sweetheart living their happily-ever-after?

“Come here. Let’s take a picture together. Let’s get someone to snap a shot for us.” I beckoned Russel over.

“Us? Together?” Russel seemed surprised but quickly flashed a smile, “Sure.”

But who could we have asked to take the picture?

Ignoring everyone else, I waited for Hiram to finish taking pictures of Neil and Karina before turning to him, “Hiram, could you take a couple of photos for us?”
