"You're back? Where have you been?" Matilda Ferguson had just opened the door when she saw her aunt Ailin Ferguson, who immediately asked her.
Ailin was Matilda's grandfather's late-life daughter. Matilda's father, Floyd Ferguson, was the eldest of three brothers in the family. Her grandfather had always hoped for a daughter, and when her parents got married, her mother became pregnant with her at the same time her grandmother gave birth to Ailin. As a result, Ailin was only nine months older than her, and their similar ages made them close to each other, despite their difference in generation.
Because they were close in age, Ailin and Matilda had the best relationship.
Ailin loved dancing as well, but due to her mother's older age and her own premature birth, her body was not able to handle the physical demands of activities such as dancing or gymnastics.
