A special occasion

It was evening. Lara and her family had dinner and ate what was left of the cake after the twins' morning assault. The cubs cuddled a little with their mommy before obediently going to sleep.

They were tired after eating so much cake, and Melanie couldn't help but chuckle while taking away the last few remaining bites. Cooking had always been her hobby, but having two pups eating with so much appetite made everything worth it.

Lara and Nate took a stroll together in the garden, observing the nocturnal flowers blooming.

«I haven't given you my present,» Nate pointed out.

«If it's another diamond, you can keep it,» she replied, crossing her arms.

«It's not even that costly,» he tried.

«There's even the certification in the box!»

«Oh, well, Scarlet liked it...»

«I don't understand how she can be so attracted to expensive stuff,» Lara chuckled.
