Triangle of Temptation

chapter 60: One Sunday

After 6 years... Cloud is already 10 years old, and Rays is 6 years old...

They were in school attending a family day of Cloud...

As they sat in the bleachers, watching Cloud participate in the school's family day activities, Raze couldn't help but feel a sense of pride swell within her. Her little boy had grown into a confident and capable young man, and she couldn't be more proud.

After the event, as they were walking back to the car, Cloud turned to Trev and Raze with a hopeful expression on his face.

"Mom, Dad, I was thinking... could I start archery training?" Cloud asked, his eyes shining with excitement.

Raze exchanged a glance with Trev, her heart swelling with pride at Cloud's interest in pursuing a new hobby. "Archery training, huh? That sounds like a great idea, Cloud."

Trev nodded in agreement. "Cloud. If it's something you're passionate about, we'll support you all the way."

Cloud beamed with delight, his excitement palpable. "Thanks, Mom, Dad! I can't wait to start."

Rays took a deep breath, gathering the courage to share her aspirations with her parents.

"Mom, Dad," Rays began, her voice tinged with excitement and nervousness, "I was thinking... could I have professional training in swimming, ballet, and dance sport?"

Raze and Trev exchanged a surprised glance, impressed by Rays' ambitious goals. Raze couldn't hide her pride as she looked at her daughter.

"Rays, that's wonderful!" Raze exclaimed, her eyes shining with admiration. "Of course, sweetheart. We'll do everything we can to support you in pursuing your passions."

Trev nodded in agreement, his voice filled with encouragement. "Rays. If swimming, ballet, and dance sport are what you love, then we'll help you find the best coaches and training programs to help you excel."

Rays' face lit up with joy and gratitude, overwhelmed by her parents' unwavering support. "Thank you, Mom, and Dad! I can't wait to get started."

With a sense of excitement and anticipation filling the air, Raze and Trev knew that their children were embarking on new journeys filled with promise and potential. As they watched Rays and Cloud chase their dreams, they knew that with their love and support, the sky was the limit.

As they drove home, Raze couldn't help but marvel at how quickly time had flown by. It seemed like just yesterday that Cloud was a little boy, and now he was growing into a young man with his interests and aspirations. With a smile, she knew that no matter what the future held, as long as they stood by each other's side, they could weather any storm.

One afternoon, as Trev and Raze were tidying up in the living room, they overheard the soft murmur of voices coming from the hallway. Curious, they paused to listen, recognizing the familiar tones of their children, Cloud, and Rays.

"...we're so lucky to have Dad and Mom," Cloud's voice drifted through the air, filled with sincerity.

Raze exchanged a glance with Trev, her heart swelling with emotion at their children's words. Trev smiled, his eyes reflecting their pride and love for their family.

"I know, Rays," Cloud replied, his voice tinged with gratitude. "They always support us in everything we do, and they're always there for us no matter what."

Raze felt a lump form in her throat as she listened to her children's conversation, touched by their appreciation for their parents.

"I'm grateful for them every day," Rays added, her voice filled with warmth. "I don't know what we'd do without them."
