Jeniva carefully placed the shimmering star at the very top of the tree, her face lighting up with a radiant smile as she stepped back to admire her work. She let out a joyful clap.
"It's finished!" she exclaimed, her voice echoing warmly through the quiet residence.
"Yes, it is," Dominick replied, standing back with his arms crossed, a rare look of contentment softening his features.
Jeniva reached for the switch, and a second later, the strings of lights began to shimmer, casting a soft, festive glow across the room.
"Now, this looks even more beautiful," she murmured. She slipped her hands into the pockets of her flared jeans, pulling out her phone. After capturing several angles of the twinkling tree, she immediately sent the photos to her sister.
"I'll take some photos of you with the tree," Dominick offered, stepping closer. "Give me the phone."
