The moment their eyes caught the sight of Aisha, eyes widened, mouths fell agape, and whispers of admiration followed in her wake.

I’m sure that once they hear the news, they will be excited.” “I think so too,” Dario replied. “I can’t wait! I love to see smiles on their faces and I can’t wait to see their lovely smiley faces again!”
