It is after lunch, Stella and Edward are in the study with Sarah, Aiden, JoAnna, Jeff, Sophia, Felix, Oscar and Elanor

While helping with decorations, Stella heard that Sarah and Aiden will be on a month-long vacation in Europe starting tomorrow. During that time, Stella also heard kids talking how after lunch they need about half an hour to set up the surprise for Sarah and that it would be the best if she is not there to see the preparations.

Stella spoke with Edward and they decided that this is the good time to gather them all and to share some information.

Back to present…

Stella looked at people in the room while thinking from where to start.

Edward reached and held her hand in his, squeezing it gently for support.

Stella glanced at Edward and showed a small smile of gratitude. No matter what, he was always by her side.
