"Are we really going to stay here?" Emma squealed with excitement.
I turned to look at her. She stood right in the center of the grand foyer, her eyes wide and glowing like she had just stepped into a fairytale.
Her curls bounced as she twirled around, arms stretched out, completely lost in her own world of wonder.
The afternoon light poured in through the tall glass windows, spreading a golden glow over everything...the staircase railing, the chandeliers, even the polished floor that reflected her small figure.
I had not seen her this happy in a long time. I smiled at her as I asked, "Do you like it?"
She stopped staring at me as if I had asked the silliest question ever.
Then she vigorously nodded her head as she jumped, "I love it so...much." I smiled at her reply as I diverted my attention from her and glanced behind me.
