Joseph stretched his legs under the blanket, his grin already forming.
Joseph:
"As the days went by, things were calm.
But the chemistry between Jonathan bro and Amber sis?
Ohhhh, it was getting obvious." š
The children leaned in with sparkling eyes.
Children:
"What happened that day?? š"
Joseph chuckled.
Joseph:
"It was a peaceful eveningā¦
the sun hanging low, unsure whether to stay or disappear.
Amber sis was in the garden, reading a novel, looking all calm and elegant."
The children listened, unmoving.
Joseph:
"Since Amber was the one who handled everything in the mansion,
Jonathan bro came out looking for a file." š

š THAT EVENINGā¦
Jonathan walked out, flipping papers in his hand.
Jonathan:
"Amber, did you seeā"
He stopped mid-sentence.
Amber looked up.
The sunlight hit her eyes perfectlyā
her normally medium-brown eyes turned into a soft, glowing honey color.
Jonathan froze.
Completely.
Utterly.
Stupidly.
Joseph:
"And THAT was it."
Children:
"What happened?! š¶"
Joseph burst into laughter.
Joseph:
"Amber sis got irritated because he wasn't respondingā
so she touched his arm."
He snapped his fingers dramatically.
Joseph:
"And your Jonathan broā
FAINTED."
Children:
"PFFTā!! š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£"
Jonathan fell like someone unplugged him from life itself.
Amber panicked.
Amber:
"JONATHAN??!" š±
And she shook him like a broken robot.
Joseph:
"I swear to god, he fainted just from one touchāONE TOUCHā
because her eyes were too pretty in the sunlight." š
The kids were rolling on the bed laughing.
Children:
"HAHAHAHAHAā!! š¤£š¤£š¤£"
Joseph flicked their foreheads lightly.
Joseph:
"But that was the day he fell head over heels for her.
Hopelessly." š
