CREPUSCOLO:

This means 'Twilight' which is good to describe the golden or blue hour.

Waking up to the sound of birds singing their melodious songs, Shira woke up to the embrace of the morning sun as she peeled the curtains away from her graceful Romanesque windows.

Overlooking the front of her house, she gazed at the water fountain that stood in the middle as cars would surround it. The ongoing water flowing from the top and landing in the basin looked so satisfying that she could remain staring at it. Hypnotised.

After freshening herself and walking into her walk-in closet with a white towel wrapped around her she picked out a summery dress with a pair of flats. Entering the dining room again the scene from yesterday's event replayed in her head again.

Theo was seated on the end of the table as always with his glasses perched on the bridge of his nose. Shira greeted her papa and they began their casual talk. The smell of her mama's signature pancakes wafted through the air, causing her empty stomach to rumble.

Shira entered the kitchen where she saw her mum flipping the pancakes carefully while Abella was cutting up fresh peaches and Ace was busy stuffing his face with pancakes. "Bonjour, ma poupée. Comment ça va?" Her mama said while kissing her cheek.

(Translation: Good morning, my doll, how are you?)

"How come Shira gets a kiss on the cheek and I get a slap on the head first thing in the morning" Ace questions while pouting. Melanie gave an apathetic look and Ace scrunched his eyebrows together while squinting his green orbs.

"That's because you were troubling your sister by giving her foot cream instead of face cream, idiot" She bluntly spoke. Ace then huffed and continued to stuff his face angrily while entering the dining room. Shira giggled and Abella looked at her, giving her a serious look which caused her to stop and smile.

"Do you need help Mama?" Shira asked while putting her chin on her mother's shoulder. Her mum then rubbed the side of her face and shook her head "Just take the bowls and the plates and put them on the table that's all, chérie" She tapped the side of her face and Shira left.

(Translation: darling)

Everyone was present at the table and were eating their food that decorated the white ceramic plates. "Papa, where are you going for the business trip?" Shira asked as that was the first thing that popped into her mind. Alexandre looked bewildered.

"Business trip? What's this about, you didn't tell me?"Alexandre questioned. Theo and Melanie looked at each other and smiled nervously. Melanie let out a breath of air and slapped her forehead.

"Well...Uh, there's a business trip that your mother and I and the Santis's are going to..." Theo stammered while looking at Melanie and everyone on the table. Ace, Louis and Abella began laughing while holding their stomachs.
