Chapter 28 - The Eighth Birthday

On Chloe's eighth birthday, a massive celebration was held in the sunlit backyard of their Georgetown estate.

Chloe blew out eight pink candles on her towering birthday cake, making a joyful wish alongside her mother.
Arthur handed his granddaughter a small, beautifully carved wooden box containing a antique compass.
