<.Elysian Heights, Sunday.>
The late afternoon sun streamed through the windows of the apartment, casting its lights inside. Three people—two adults and a child—gathered around a coffee table where colorful things were scattered on its surface.
Nathaniel eyed the items suspiciously. Near him, Elsie laughed out loud while Lorianne cried in excitement.
"Daddy! Look! This glasses is funny!"
Lorianne grabbed one of the glasses in ridiculous shapes, wearing them over her eyes. The one she picked was large, almost covering half of her small face and having googly eyes.
A laughing Elsie reached for a package. More giggles spilled from her mouth as she read what was written out loud.
"Glow-In-The-Dark Starry Onesies. Lorrie, this one is for you. Hehe, you'll look so glamorous if you wear it to bed."
"From Uncle Rudy too?"
"Yes. Everything is from him and his wife," Elsie chuckled. She glanced at Nathaniel who was now laughing in helplessness.
