You and Charles had been together for several years now, but your bond stretched back much further—since the days of childhood. Growing up alongside Charles, you had become an integral part of the Leclerc family, and his mother, Pascale, had always treated you like the daughter she never had.

On this particular day, the entire Leclerc family had gathered for a special occasion—a celebratory lunch in honor of the newest member of the family, Charlotte and Lorenzo’s newborn son. The atmosphere was lively and filled with joy, as the Leclerc brothers, Charles, Arthur, and Lorenzo, were out in the garden, playing football with the older children, their laughter and playful shouts echoing through the air.

Meanwhile, you remained inside the kitchen with Pascale and Charlotte, holding your tiny nephew close to your chest, gently rocking him in your arms. The warmth of the family home, the scent of the delicious meal being prepared, and the comforting presence of Pascale and Charlotte made the moment feel especially intimate. Surrounded by the love and care of the family, you couldn’t help but feel deeply connected to this special day and the wonderful people around you.
