Chapter 10 - Where the Sun Touches the Ground
That evening, as the guests departed and the sun began its slow descent below the horizon, painting the sky in brilliant hues of gold, crimson, and violet, the family gathered on the soft grass of the lower garden.
Nathaniel sat on a wooden bench, holding Willow close against his side. Nora and Wren were curled up on a soft picnic blanket at their feet, exhausted from a long day of running, while Leo sat beside them reading a storybook aloud to the girls.
