Briony pressed her lips together and sighed. "I'll take your pictures first, and then your dad can take a few of us together. That way, we'll all be in the photos."

The two kids stared at her, puzzled by this arrangement.

Stewart understood immediately-Briony had no intention of taking a family portrait with all four of them together. He didn't want to force her, either.

"Okay!"

"Okay!"
