Kimi arrived home that afternoon with time to spare before the evening gathering. She selected a flowing white cotton dress, its collar delicately trimmed with lace and adorned with pristine pearls.
Her hair cascaded freely over her shoulders as she applied minimal makeup, achieving an effortlessly natural look that highlighted her features without overwhelming them.
Alvin and Felix waited by their car, both beaming with pride when she emerged from the house.
"Look at my gorgeous daughter," Felix said warmly. Kimi leaned in to kiss her mother's cheek.
"Well, I had to learn from the most beautiful woman I know," she replied with a smile.
They shared a moment of laughter before Alvin settled into the driver's seat. Felix took her place beside him while Kimi climbed into the back.
