As the days turned into weeks, Violet found it hard to adjust. Luna was often preoccupied with Lisa's needs, leaving Violet feeling neglected. "Why can't she just pay attention to me?" Violet thought, frustration boiling over. She missed the one-on-one time she used to share with her mother.
At school, Violet struggled to concentrate. "Everything is different now," she confided to her friends during lunch. They offered their support, but it didn't ease her feelings of resentment. She felt trapped in a world where Lisa was the centre of attention.
Chapter 54: Growing Tensions
The tension at home escalated as Lisa grew. Violet found herself glaring at the baby during family gatherings. "Why can't they see that I'm struggling?" she thought, the bitterness clouding her heart. Poppy tried to lighten the mood, but Violet wasn't in the mood for her usual cheer.
One evening, while Luna was feeding Lisa, Violet blurted out, "You don't even have time for me anymore!" The room fell silent. Luna looked hurt, and Mackenzie tried to intervene. "Violet, that's not fair," he said gently. But Violet felt justified in her anger. "It's true! You're always with her!"
Chapter 55: A Family Meeting
Recognising the growing tension, Luna and Mackenzie decided to hold a family meeting. "We need to talk about how everyone is feeling," Luna said, her voice calm but firm. Violet crossed her arms, prepared to defend her feelings. "No one cares about me now that Lisa is here!" she exclaimed.
Mackenzie sighed, looking at his daughters. "We love both of you equally. You're both important to us." But Violet felt like a stranger in her own home, her heart heavy with resentment. Poppy tried to support her sister, but the divide only seemed to deepen.
Chapter 56: Finding a Friend
In her frustration, Violet sought comfort elsewhere. One afternoon at the park, she met a girl named Sophie. "My baby sister is annoying too!" Sophie said, instantly making Violet feel understood. They spent the afternoon chatting and laughing, and Violet felt a sense of relief. "Finally, someone who gets it," she thought.
Sophie became a close friend, providing an escape from the tension at home. Violet confided in her about her feelings towards Lisa, and Sophie listened without judgement. "Maybe it'll get better when she's older," Sophie suggested, but Violet was sceptical.
Chapter 57: The Baby's First Birthday
As Lisa's first birthday approached, the household was abuzz with preparations. "We need to make this special!" Luna said, excitedly planning the party. Violet felt her irritation rise. "Why are we making such a big deal about her?" she thought, resentment bubbling again.
On the day of the party, Violet stood to the side, watching everyone celebrate Lisa. "I don't want to be part of this," she mumbled to Poppy. Poppy, trying to cheer her up, said, "It's just one day! You'll get your time back." But Violet's heart wasn't convinced.
Chapter 58: Unwanted Attention
As the party continued, Violet found herself feeling invisible. "Everyone's too busy with Lisa," she thought, her heart sinking. Even Mackenzie, who usually made time for her, was caught up in the festivities. Violet felt a familiar sense of anger bubbling up. "Why can't they see I'm right here?" she thought, clenching her fists.
When the cake was cut, everyone cheered for Lisa, and Violet's frustration boiled over. "I'm done with this!" she muttered, storming off to her room. The laughter and cheers faded behind her, leaving her alone with her thoughts. "Why can't they just love me like they love her?" she pondered.
Chapter 59: A Growing Divide
After the birthday celebrations, the divide between Violet and Lisa seemed to grow. Luna tried to involve Violet in caring for the baby, but Violet resisted. "I don't want to change her nappy or play with her!" she exclaimed, turning away. Luna looked hurt but didn't press further, knowing it was a sensitive topic.
Meanwhile, Violet found herself increasingly distant from her family. "Maybe I'll just focus on my friends," she thought, trying to fill the void that Lisa had created. But the loneliness lingered, and she couldn't shake the feeling that she was losing her place in the family.
Chapter 60: Seeking Solitude
Feeling overwhelmed, Violet sought solace in her room. "This is my space, and I won't let Lisa take it from me," she thought, determined to carve out her own identity. She decorated her walls with posters and drawings, creating a haven where she could escape the chaos.
But even in her solitude, Violet felt the weight of her emotions. "Why can't I just be happy for her?" she wondered, battling her own feelings of jealousy. As she lay in bed at night, she often found herself staring at the ceiling, contemplating her place in the family.
Chapter 61: A Change of Heart
One afternoon, while watching Lisa play with Poppy, something shifted inside Violet. "She's just a baby," she thought, her heart softening slightly. Perhaps Lisa wasn't to blame for the changes in her life. "It's not her fault everyone is so focused on her," she realised, a glimmer of understanding emerging.
Despite this small shift, Violet struggled to fully embrace her sister. "I'm still hurt," she thought, but a part of her wanted to try. "Maybe I could be a good big sister," she pondered, contemplating how she could bridge the gap.
Chapter 62: The Attempt
Determined to make an effort, Violet approached Lisa one day. "Let's play together," she said, trying to sound enthusiastic. Lisa giggled, reaching out her tiny hands. "This could work," Violet thought, her heart fluttering with hope.
But as soon as Violet began playing, Lisa became distracted by a toy. "Why does she have to be so…babyish?" Violet thought, her initial excitement fading. The moment felt forced, and she retreated to her room, feeling frustrated. "This is harder than I thought," she admitted to herself, disheartened.
Chapter 63: Reconnecting with Friends
In her frustration, Violet turned to her friends for support. "I just can't deal with Lisa," she confessed to Sophie. "It's like I don't even exist anymore." Sophie listened, nodding in understanding. "It's tough when a new sibling comes along," she said. "But maybe you can find a way to include her without losing yourself."
Violet felt a sense of relief sharing her feelings. "I need to find balance," she thought, realising that pushing everyone away wouldn't solve her problems. With Sophie's encouragement, she began to consider ways to reconnect with her family without sacrificing her own identity.
Chapter 64: A Sisterly Pact
One day, Violet mustered the courage to approach Luna. "Can we talk about how I feel?" she asked, her voice shaky. Luna welcomed the conversation, and Violet poured out her heart, expressing her fears and frustrations. "I just don't know how to be a big sister," she admitted.
Luna listened intently, understanding her daughter's struggles. "It's okay to feel this way," she reassured Violet. "But remember, being a big sister can also be an adventure. Let's make a pact to find time for just us, too." Violet felt a glimmer of hope. "Maybe this could work," she thought, relieved to have a plan.
Chapter 65: New Beginnings
With their pact in place, Violet and Luna began setting aside special time together. They scheduled regular "sister dates" where they could enjoy activities without Lisa. "Let's go to the café!" Luna suggested one afternoon, and Violet felt a rush of excitement. "I can't wait to have you all to myself!" she exclaimed.
During their outings, Violet found herself laughing and enjoying her mother's company. "This feels nice," she thought, cherishing the moments that reminded her of the special bond they shared. Each outing helped bridge the gap that had formed, and Violet began to see a flicker of hope for a new family dynamic.
Chapter 66: The Café Adventure
Violet and Luna stepped into the café, the rich aroma of coffee and pastries enveloping them. "This place is perfect!" Luna said, her eyes sparkling. They settled at a cosy table by the window, and Violet felt a sense of warmth and excitement. "I've missed this," she admitted, glancing at her mother.
As they sipped their drinks and shared a slice of cake, Violet opened up about school and her friends. Luna listened intently, offering advice and encouragement. "You're doing amazing, Violet. I'm so proud of you," she said, and for the first time in a while, Violet felt truly seen. "Maybe I can balance this new life after all," she thought, feeling lighter.
Chapter 67: A Sisterly Bond
With each sister date, Violet began to feel more comfortable around Lisa. "Maybe I can be a good big sister," she thought, slowly warming to the idea. One day, she decided to try and include Lisa in her playtime. "Let's build a tower together!" she said, excitement bubbling within her.
To her surprise, Lisa squealed in delight, reaching for the blocks. "This is actually fun!" Violet thought as she watched her baby sister attempt to stack the blocks with tiny, clumsy hands. The sight brought a smile to Violet's face, and for a moment, she felt a flicker of affection for Lisa.
Chapter 68: The Spark of Change
As weeks turned into months, Violet's relationship with Lisa began to evolve. Their play sessions became more frequent, and Violet found herself enjoying her sister's company. "She's not as annoying as I thought," Violet admitted to Poppy one afternoon. Poppy grinned. "See? You're starting to warm up to her!"
Encouraged by her progress, Violet began to take on more responsibilities. "Maybe being a big sister won't be so bad," she thought, feeling a sense of pride. Luna noticed the change and beamed with joy. "You're doing so well, Violet. Lisa is lucky to have you."
Chapter 69: The Unexpected Challenge
Just as things were settling down, a new challenge emerged. Lisa started to crawl, and Violet found herself struggling to keep up. "She's everywhere!" Violet exclaimed, watching Lisa explore every corner of the house. "I can't even get a moment to myself!"
Luna chuckled at Violet's exasperation. "That's what little sisters do, love. You'll get used to it," she said, but Violet felt overwhelmed. "I want my space!" she thought, feeling a sense of dread. With every new milestone, she worried that Lisa would take over even more of her life.
Chapter 70: A Family Outing
To reconnect as a family, Mackenzie suggested a day out at the local amusement park. "It'll be fun! A chance for all of us to spend time together," he said, excitement evident in his voice. Violet felt a mix of emotions. "What if Lisa steals the spotlight again?" she wondered, anxiety creeping in.
Despite her reservations, the family set off, and as they arrived, Violet was swept up in the vibrant atmosphere. Bright lights, laughter, and thrilling rides surrounded them. For a moment, she forgot her worries and felt the thrill of excitement. "Maybe this could be fun after all," she thought.
Chapter 71: Thrills and Spills
The day flew by with laughter and fun. Violet rode the Ferris wheel with Poppy, their shrieks of joy echoing as they reached the top. "Look at everything!" Poppy shouted, her eyes wide with wonder. Violet felt a sense of camaraderie with her sister, the joy of the day pushing aside her worries.
However, when it came time for the carousel, Lisa's tiny hands gripped the horse tightly, her giggles ringing out. "She's getting all the attention again!" Violet thought, a flicker of annoyance surfacing. But as she watched Lisa's joy, something inside her softened. "Maybe she deserves this happiness," Violet mused, trying to suppress her jealousy.
Chapter 72: The Carousel Moment
As the carousel spun round and round, Violet found herself drawn to Lisa's infectious laughter. "Look at her, having the time of her life," she thought, and for the first time, Violet felt a twinge of protective instinct. "I want her to be happy," she realised, her heart warming.
After the ride, Violet took a deep breath and approached Lisa. "Do you want to ride with me next time?" she asked, her voice tentative. Lisa's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands. "Yay!" The simple exchange ignited a sense of unity, and Violet felt a glimmer of hope. "Maybe we can be a team," she thought, smiling at her sister.
Chapter 73: The Bond Grows
After the family outing, Violet made a conscious effort to connect with Lisa. They played together more often, building towers, playing pretend, and even dressing up in costumes. "I didn't know being a big sister could be this fun," Violet thought, her heart swelling with affection.
Luna noticed the change and couldn't help but smile. "I'm so proud of both of you," she said one afternoon, watching them play. Violet beamed at the compliment. "Maybe being a big sister isn't so bad after all," she thought, feeling a renewed sense of purpose.
Chapter 74: The Sleepover Idea
Inspired by her new bond with Lisa, Violet decided to host a sleepover for Poppy and some friends. "It'll be fun! We can have a sister sleepover!" she declared, excitedly planning the details. "And maybe we can include Lisa too," she added, surprising herself. "She might actually enjoy it."
Poppy's eyes lit up. "That sounds amazing! We can all have a blast!" They spent the evening preparing, decorating the living room with fairy lights and gathering snacks. Violet felt a rush of excitement, knowing that this was a chance to bring everyone together.
Chapter 75: The Sleepover
On the night of the sleepover, laughter filled the house as friends arrived. "This is going to be epic!" Violet said, her excitement contagious. They set up blankets and pillows, creating a cosy atmosphere. When Lisa entered the room, everyone greeted her with smiles, and Violet felt a sense of pride. "She's part of the fun now," she thought.
As the night went on, they played games, told stories, and enjoyed the snacks they had prepared. Lisa, wearing her favourite pyjamas, giggled and joined in, bringing a joyful energy to the gathering. "This isn't so bad," Violet realised, feeling a warm sense of belonging.
Chapter 76: A Surprise
As the night progressed, the friends decided to play a surprise game: "Guess the Sibling." Each person had to imitate their sibling, and the rest had to guess who they were imitating. When it was Violet's turn, she did an exaggerated impression of Lisa's baby talk, causing everyone to erupt in laughter.
Lisa, delighted by the attention, clapped her hands and joined in the fun. Violet felt a sense of happiness radiate through her. "This is what being a big sister is all about," she thought, a newfound joy bubbling within her. The laughter and camaraderie made her realise just how special these moments could be.
Chapter 77: A New Understanding
As the sleepover came to an end, Violet felt a profound sense of change within herself. "I can be both a big sister and still have my own life," she realised, understanding that there was enough love to go around. She looked at Lisa, who was curled up in a blanket, fast asleep, and felt a wave of affection. "I've got your back, little one," she whispered softly.
The experience had deepened their bond, and Violet felt grateful for the chance to connect with her sister. "Maybe I can help shape who you become," she thought, a protective instinct igniting within her. This new understanding filled her with hope for their future together.
Chapter 78: Navigating School Life
Back at school, Violet found herself feeling more confident. "I can handle this," she thought, embracing her role as a big sister. She began sharing stories of Lisa with her friends, recounting funny moments that brought laughter and warmth. "It's not so bad having a sibling after all," she said, surprising herself with her acceptance.
Her friends listened with interest, and Violet felt a sense of pride in sharing her journey. "I'm learning to love her," she thought, feeling the weight of resentment lift. "And maybe being a big sister is more rewarding than I ever realised."
Chapter 79: A Day at the Zoo
To celebrate their growing bond, Luna suggested a family outing to the zoo. "It'll be a fun day for all of us," she said, and Violet felt a rush of excitement. "I can't wait to show Lisa all the animals!" she thought, envisioning the joy of sharing this experience with her sister.
On the day of the trip, the family packed a picnic and set off. As they arrived, Violet held Lisa's hand, leading her to the animal enclosures. "Look over there, Lisa!" she pointed, watching her sister's eyes widen in wonder. "This is amazing!" Violet felt a swell of pride in being able to share these moments.
Chapter 80: Learning Together
As they explored the zoo, Violet took on the role of a little tour guide for Lisa. "That's a lion! And over there are the penguins!" she exclaimed, feeling a sense of joy in her new responsibility. Lisa giggled and clapped, thoroughly enjoying her sister's enthusiasm.
During lunch, they gathered under a shady tree, sharing stories and laughter. "I'm so glad we're doing this together," Luna said, smiling at her daughters. Violet beamed with happiness, realising how much she had grown. "This is what family is all about," she thought, feeling a sense of belonging wash over her.
Chapter 81: The Bond Deepens
As the weeks continued, Violet's relationship with Lisa blossomed. They played together every day, building forts and reading stories. "You're actually fun to be around!" Violet said one afternoon, laughing as Lisa attempted to stack blocks. The bond they shared felt stronger than ever, and Violet felt a sense of joy she hadn't anticipated.
Luna and Mackenzie often watched with pride, seeing how their daughters had grown together. "You're doing such a great job, Violet," Mackenzie praised one day. Violet felt her heart swell with warmth. "I'm learning every day," she replied, realising that being a big sister was a journey worth taking.
Chapter 82: Celebrating Milestones
As Lisa's second birthday approached, Violet felt excited about the celebration. "We should make it extra special!" she suggested to Luna. They brainstormed ideas, deciding on a colourful cake and fun party games. Violet felt a surge of pride in planning for her sister's big day. "I want Lisa to have the best time," she thought, feeling protective.
On the day of the party, friends and family gathered in their backyard, adorned with balloons and streamers. Lisa's face lit up with joy as she saw the decorations. "Happy Birthday, Lisa!" Violet shouted, her excitement contagious. As they sang and celebrated, Violet realised that this was a new chapter in their relationship—one filled with love and shared memories.
Chapter 83: Growing Together
After the birthday festivities, Violet felt a renewed sense of purpose as a big sister. "I want to teach Lisa all the fun things I know!" she declared to Poppy. They started crafting together, painting and creating art projects that filled the house with colour and creativity.
Luna often joined in, encouraging their artistic pursuits. "You're such a great role model, Violet," she said, beaming with pride. Violet felt a sense of fulfilment as she guided Lisa through the projects. "This is what being a sister is all about," she thought, realising that their bond was blossoming beautifully.
Chapter 84: The Adventure Continues
As the seasons changed, Violet and Lisa continued to explore and play together. From outdoor adventures to cosy indoor days, they built a world of their own. "Let's go on a treasure hunt!" Violet suggested one sunny afternoon, and Lisa's eyes sparkled with excitement.
They created maps and set off on their adventure, discovering hidden treasures around the garden. "Look at this shiny rock!" Violet exclaimed, holding it up proudly. Lisa clapped her hands, mimicking Violet's enthusiasm. In those moments, Violet felt a sense of joy she hadn't anticipated. "I'm loving this sisterhood," she thought, smiling at Lisa.
Chapter 85: Navigating New Challenges
As Lisa grew older, new challenges began to surface. The toddler tantrums became more frequent, and Violet found herself feeling frustrated at times. "Why can't she just listen?" she thought, exasperated during one particularly chaotic afternoon. Luna intervened, offering guidance. "It's just part of being a little one," she reassured Violet.
"Try to be patient," Mackenzie added, and Violet took a deep breath, reminding herself that Lisa was still learning. "I need to be more understanding," she thought, striving to embrace her role as a big sister with kindness. Each challenge became a lesson, teaching Violet the importance of empathy and patience.
Chapter 86: Building Trust
Recognising the need for patience, Violet made a conscious effort to connect with Lisa during her tantrums. "Let's breathe together," she said one day, demonstrating calming techniques. To her surprise, Lisa began to mimic her, taking deep breaths and giggling in between. "This is actually working!" Violet thought, a sense of relief washing over her.
As they navigated these challenges, their bond deepened. Violet felt a sense of accomplishment in teaching Lisa how to cope with her emotions. "I'm proud of us," she thought, knowing that this journey was shaping both of them in beautiful ways.
Chapter 87: The Sisterly Adventure
One sunny Saturday, Violet decided to organise a mini adventure for Lisa. "Let's have a picnic in the park!" she announced, her eyes shining with excitement. Luna and Mackenzie helped prepare the food, while Violet packed a special basket just for Lisa.
At the park, they found a perfect spot under a shady tree. Violet laid out the blanket and shared her favourite snacks with Lisa. "This is so much fun!" Lisa said, her smile infectious. Violet felt a sense of joy in sharing this experience, knowing they were creating lasting memories together.
Chapter 88: The Nature Walk
After the picnic, they ventured on a nature walk, exploring the beauty of the outdoors. "Look at the butterflies!" Violet exclaimed, pointing at the colourful insects fluttering around. Lisa clapped her hands in delight, chasing after them with pure joy.
As they walked, Violet took the opportunity to teach Lisa about the different plants and animals they encountered. "This is a gum tree, and that's a kookaburra!" she said, feeling a sense of pride in sharing her knowledge. Lisa listened intently, her eyes wide with wonder, and Violet felt a deep connection growing between them.
Chapter 89: A Little Independence
As Lisa turned three, she began to assert her independence. "I can do it myself!" she declared one morning while trying to put on her shoes. Violet watched with mixed emotions—pride in her sister's growth and a pang of frustration as Lisa struggled. "Let me help you," Violet offered, eager to guide her.
With gentle encouragement, Violet helped Lisa navigate the task. "You're getting so good at this!" she praised, and Lisa beamed with happiness. In that moment, Violet realised that being a big sister meant celebrating both the successes and the challenges. "We're in this together," she thought, feeling a sense of responsibility.
Chapter 90: Learning and Growing
In the following weeks, Violet embraced her role as a mentor to Lisa. They would practice everyday tasks together, from dressing to basic chores. "You're a quick learner!" Violet said one afternoon as Lisa helped tidy up her toys. The pride in her sister's eyes mirrored her own.
During their learning sessions, Violet discovered a newfound appreciation for Lisa's curiosity. "You ask the best questions," she said, laughing as Lisa inquired about everything around them. Their bond deepened through shared experiences, and Violet felt grateful for the opportunity to guide her sister.
Chapter 91: The Power of Play
Violet began to understand the power of play in their relationship. "Let's create a story together!" she suggested one day, grabbing crayons and paper. Lisa's eyes sparkled with excitement, and they began to craft their own imaginative tales.
As they illustrated their story, laughter filled the room. "And then the dragon flew over the castle!" Lisa exclaimed, her imagination running wild. Violet realised that these moments were not just about teaching; they were about building a world of creativity and joy together.
Chapter 92: A Little Challenge
Despite their blossoming bond, challenges still arose. One day, Lisa refused to share her toys, and Violet felt frustration bubbling up. "You have to share, Lisa!" she insisted, trying to reason with her sister. Lisa crossed her arms defiantly. "No!" she shouted, tears threatening to spill.
Violet took a deep breath, reminding herself of the patience they had worked on together. "Let's try to find a way to play together," she said calmly. With time and encouragement, they navigated the challenge, learning valuable lessons about sharing and compromise. "We can figure this out," Violet thought, feeling a sense of accomplishment.
Chapter 93: Celebrating Lisa
As Lisa's birthday approached once more, Violet felt excitement building. "This year, let's make it even more special!" she declared to Luna and Mackenzie. They brainstormed ideas, deciding on a theme that Lisa loved—dinosaurs!
Violet took the lead in planning, eager to surprise her sister. "We can have dinosaur decorations and a cake shaped like a dinosaur!" she suggested, her creativity flowing. Luna and Mackenzie joined in, feeling the anticipation build. The preparations filled the house with a sense of joy.
Chapter 94: The Big Day
On the day of the party, the backyard transformed into a vibrant prehistoric landscape. "This is amazing!" Lisa exclaimed, her eyes wide with wonder at the decorations. Violet felt a sense of pride wash over her. "This is all for you, little sister!" she said, embracing Lisa in a warm hug.
As friends and family arrived, the celebrations kicked off with games, laughter, and cake. Violet watched with delight as Lisa blew out her candles, her face lighting up with joy. "Happy Birthday, Lisa!" Violet cheered, feeling a surge of love for her sister. This day was a testament to their growing bond.
Chapter 95: The Aftermath
After the party, Violet and Lisa spent time together playing with the gifts. "Look at my new dinosaur!" Lisa said, showing off her present with excitement. Violet felt a rush of happiness watching her sister. "I'm so glad you had fun today," she said, her heart swelling with joy.
In the following weeks, their bond continued to flourish. Violet took the opportunity to engage Lisa in creative play, building dinosaur habitats and crafting stories around their newfound toys. "We're a great team!" Violet realised, enjoying the process of learning and growing together.
Chapter 96: Embracing Change
As Lisa entered her preschool years, new changes arose. Violet felt a mix of emotions, worried about how things would shift. "What if I'm not as important anymore?" she thought, grappling with the fear of losing her sister's attention.
Luna reassured her, "You'll always be an important part of Lisa's life. Big sisters are irreplaceable." Violet took comfort in her mother's words, reminding herself that their bond was built on love and shared experiences. "I just need to keep being there for her," she decided, feeling a renewed sense of commitment.
Chapter 97: New Adventures Await
With Lisa starting preschool, Violet recognised a new chapter unfolding. "This could be exciting for both of us!" she thought, eager to support her sister as she ventured into this new environment. On the first day of school, Violet held Lisa's hand tightly, guiding her through the bustling atmosphere.
"Look at all the kids, Lisa!" Violet exclaimed, encouraging her sister to explore. Lisa's initial nervousness faded as she saw the colourful classroom and friendly faces. "I'm going to be brave!" Lisa declared, her confidence growing. Violet felt a swell of pride, realising that this was just another step in their evolving relationship.
Chapter 98: Navigating School Days
As weeks passed, Violet adjusted to the changes in their routine. "I want to hear all about your day, Lisa!" she said each afternoon, eagerly listening to her sister's stories. Lisa recounted her adventures, and Violet felt a sense of joy in being her confidante.
One afternoon, Lisa came home upset. "I didn't get picked for the game!" she cried. Violet knelt beside her, offering comfort. "It's okay, Lisa. There will be other games. You're doing great!" she reassured, drawing from her own experiences. In that moment, Violet realised that her role as a sister was also about being a source of support.
Chapter 99: A Sisterly Surprise
Inspired by their growing bond, Violet decided to plan a surprise for Lisa. "I want to show her how much she means to me!" she thought, brainstorming ideas. With help from Luna, they organised a special 'Sister Day' filled with fun activities and treats.
On the day of the surprise, Violet woke Lisa early, leading her to the living room adorned with decorations. "Surprise!" she shouted, and Lisa's eyes lit up. "This is amazing!" she exclaimed, hugging Violet tightly. The day unfolded with laughter, games, and favourite snacks, creating cherished memories they would treasure forever.
Chapter 100: The Journey Ahead
As the years continued to pass, Violet and Lisa navigated the ups and downs of sisterhood. They faced challenges, celebrated victories, and built a bond that felt unbreakable. "I never imagined being a big sister would be this rewarding," Violet reflected, feeling a deep sense of gratitude.
In the evenings, as they shared stories and laughter, Violet realised that their journey was just beginning. "We're going to create so many memories together," she thought, embracing the adventure that lay ahead. With love and support, they were ready to face whatever came their way, side by side.
