"Madam, take cover... the fireworks are about to start..." the housekeeper shouted, stepping forward to light a very long string of red firecrackers.
Keira Leaf covered her ears and stepped back twice, a smile spreading across her face, while Joshua Sulliven stood beside her, wrapping his arms around her waist, and a gentle warmth appeared in his expression.
Soon, the crackling sounds were incessant, as a long string of firecrackers burst into joyous flames, and on the other side, a few lads occasionally set off Sky Monkeys and some iron stuff, drawing a scolding from the housekeeper who feared startling the child in Keira's stomach.
"Wait for me, I'm going to set off the fireworks." Joshua pecked her small face, lighting a cigarette.
