The morning sun beamed warmly across the sky as laughter echoed through the wide, colorful expanse of Zeden's biggest amusement park. It was the perfect day—bright skies, cool breeze, and the kind of energy only a place filled with cotton candy, rides, and music could bring.
Alex held Liam's tiny hand tightly as the little boy tugged excitedly toward the spinning teacups. "Uncle Alex! That one! I want that one!"
"Alright, buddy," Alex chuckled, glancing over his shoulder at the others. "You coming, Fiona?"
Fiona, dressed in a simple yellow top and jeans, nodded with a small smile. "Yeah… let's do it."
She looked around as they walked—Emma was helping Claire fix her sunhat, Margaret had just won a small teddy bear from a balloon dart game, and the breeze carried the scent of popcorn and laughter everywhere.
It was loud, a bit chaotic, but for the first time in a long while, Fiona felt herself completely relax. No work stress. No worries about the future. Just… family.
