It had taken them 4 long hours to finally arrive at their new home.

As the car pulled into the driveway, the triplets, Alice, Elisa, and Genevieve, bounced excitedly in the backseat, eager to see their new house.

Once parked, they quickly gathered their bags and hurried inside, Catherine following behind at a more measured pace.

The triplets rushed to explore every room, chattering animatedly as they claimed their new shared bedroom and began unpacking their belongings.

Catherine lingered uncertainly by the door, watching as her three sisters made themselves at home.

She hesitated, unsure whether to join them or give them space to settle in.

Sensing Catherine's hesitation, the triplets paused their activities and turned to her. "Come here, Catherine!" Elisa called, reaching out to take her elder sister's hand.

The other two girls quickly gathered around, gently tugging Catherine into their room.

"Let's dance!" Alice exclaimed, grabbing the sides of her dress and twirling around the room.

Elisa and Genevieve giggled, mirroring her movements. Tentatively at first, then with growing confidence, Catherine joined in, the sound of their laughter and joy filling the room.

For the first time since arriving, Catherine felt herself relaxing.

Surrounded by her sisters, she allowed the worries and uncertainty she had been carrying to melt away.

In this moment, the new house felt like a home, full of the warmth and love that could only come from family.
