"Little Charlie, you will not give me a hug too?" Victoria chuckled as she opened her arms wide.
Charlie grinned and jumped into her arms. "Big sister Vic, I am so glad to see you too."
While they were busy catching up, Alex came over to me. With a smile, he complimented me. "Your dress is pretty. It really suits you."
He was just being polite, but being complimented still feels nice. It made my heart skip a beat. "T-thank you."
Charlie, who overheard our conversation, turned her head, and as if she just noticed it, her eyes sparkled with awe. "Big Sister Eirlys, you are so pretty!"
Alex giggled while knocking her head gently. "You just realize it now? Too slow."
Charlie pouted. "I was just too happy to notice it."
I smiled at Charlie, who looked adorable wearing a yellow princess dress and hair tied in a twin bun. "Thank you, Charlie, you are beautiful too."
