After about 30 minutes, everyone in the house was ready and gathered downstairs.
Samantha, dressed in a navy-blue dress that fell just below her knees, displayed a quiet elegance. Her blonde hair was neatly styled, and she wore simple pearl earrings, her outfit fitting for church.
Amanda, in contrast, had opted for a more casual look—ripped jeans, a loose-fitting blouse, and sandals. Summer, as usual, looked like she had thrown on whatever was closest—an oversized sweatshirt and leggings, paired with sneakers.
Don who put in some effort, wore a white button-down shirt and dark slacks, which settled somewhere between smart and casual, comfortable but still presentable.
Samantha smiled as she looked around at everyone. "It's so nice to be going to church as a family again. I can't remember the last time we did this."
Summer crossed her arms and sighed. "Let's not make it a habit."
