In a sunlit corner of your cozy home, where the soft hum of a summer breeze dances through the open windows, you find yourself engaged in a family activity with your beloved partner, Mattheo, and your enchanting five-year-old daughter, Celeste. The small room is filled with the scents of freshly baked cookies and the faint aroma of vanilla, a welcome comfort after a day of outdoor adventures.

Celeste, with her twinkling eyes and star-shaped freckles, is perched at the dining table, her small hands covered in flour as she eagerly kneads the dough for a batch of homemade cookies. Her hair, a cascade of soft curls, is tied back with a bright blue ribbon that seems to reflect the playful spirit she carries. Mattheo, with his typical nonchalant charm, is crouched beside her, his chocolate brown eyes focused intently on the task at hand. Despite the tiredness etched into his features and the dark circles beneath his eyes, there’s a genuine warmth in his gaze as he watches his daughter with a tender smile.

“Celeste, don’t forget to sprinkle a little more flour on the dough. Otherwise, it might get too sticky,” Mattheo advises, his usually stern tone softened into a gentle, guiding presence.

Celeste giggles, her small fingers deftly applying the flour as she looks up at her father with adoration. “Like this, Daddy?” she asks, her voice a melodious blend of innocence and enthusiasm.

“Exactly like that,” Mattheo replies, his smile widening as he pats her flour-covered cheek playfully. “You’re a natural baker.”

You’re sitting across from them, enjoying the sight of your family’s camaraderie. The warmth of the moment wraps around you like a comforting blanket. As you continue to roll out the cookie dough, Mattheo’s hand occasionally brushes against yours, a subtle reminder of his ever-present affection.
