Chloe never took a picture of Vincent and Mackie together because he always refused for some reason. So this was a chance for Chloe to secretly immortalize the moment of Mackie spending a fun time with a father figure, even if Vernon wasn't her biological father.
She fished her phone out of her bag. She halted her step, standing still as she aimed the camera at them, waiting for the right moment when they smiled together.
And…
Blitz! Snap!
"Oh damn—" Chloe panicked. She forgot to turn off the auto flash. Now it wasn't a secret picture anymore.
"Huh?"
"Wah?!"
Vernon and Mackie looked over their shoulders at the same time. The flash from Chloe's camera caught them off guard;
"What did you do, Chloe?" Vernon asked.
"Um, Mommy, that surprises me so much!"
