Lucas leaned against the doorframe of the living room, watching Amy as she animatedly recounted the events of Sonia's labor and the impromptu hospital baby shower.
Her hands waved in the air, and she paced back and forth, her words tumbling out in rapid succession.
"And then Candace's heels snapped right in the middle of rushing Sonia into the car!" Amy exclaimed, her face bright with laughter. "She was hopping around, yelling at Jade to hurry up, and poor Sonia was just glaring at all of us, trying not to scream. I don't even know how they managed to get her to the hospital without her biting someone's head off."
Lucas chuckled, his grin widening as he watched her. Her excitement was infectious. She was glowingโ not the kind of glow people talked about when they meant makeup or good lighting, but a deep, radiant energy that came from within.
