Nancy's POV:
"I am planning to have a family picnic---"
We all looked at my mom when she suddenly stopped talking.
"Do you hear that?" she asked instead.
At first, we're all confused about what she's asking about, but later on, we understand why she has stopped.
"No way, love! You said it's my room, it's my life and it's my decision, so I want you to sleep next to me."
We all heard Gabriel laugh. All our eyes snapped from where his voice was coming from and then we saw them arguing from the top of the stairs and as they went down.
"No!" It's Madi.
"Yes, my love!"
"No!"
"Yes!" And he chuckled again.
"Oh my God, honey! Can you see that?" my mom asked my dad as tears were forming in her eyes.
I understand where those tears come from. Because that's exactly how I feel right now, after hearing my brother's laugh.
He looks so happy as he teases his girlfriend.
"It's been a long time since we've heard him laugh like this," Dad said with a smile.
"Yeah. It's been a long time since he showed this carefree side of him." Mom agreed.
A smile also formed my lips. Well, thanks for Madi. She brought my brother back.
We just stood there, watched as they exchanged 'No and Yes love'.
