In a house somewhere in a small village near Rome...
Victor: Good morning, mom.
Aline: Good morning, my son. Come have breakfast before you go.
Victor: I'll be late, mom. There's a possibility of a party at our restaurant today, and the most famous singer in the city is expected to attend in celebration of the release of her new album, but I'm not sure yet.
Aline: But, my son...
Victor: Alright, I'll have a quick breakfast. Has Camila woken up?
Camila: Here I am.
Victor: Good morning, my dear. Come have breakfast, let's go.
Andrew: Good morning.
Victor: Dad, why are you up? Go rest.
Andrew: I'm fine, son.

In a mansion in the city, where Emma was preparing for this special day...
Emma: Good morning!
Isabel: Good morning, dear.
Emma: Where's Jacob? Isn't he awake yet?
Isabel: He woke up before you and went to the studio.
Emma: I forgot! Today my new album is being released. I'll go get ready, mom.
Isabel: But darling, have breakfast first.
Emma: No, I'll be late!
Isabel: As you wish, darling.
Emma quickly went to her room and dressed.
Emma: I'm off, goodbye!
Edward: Did you have breakfast?
Isabel: I asked her, but she refused. You know, your daughter is stubborn.
Edward: Just like her grandmother.
Isabel: Yes.
⸻
Minutes later, Emma arrived...
Emma: Hi, sorry I'm late.
Jacob: And this isn't the first time, Miss Emma.
Emma: I'm sorry, brother.
Jacob: Alright, go ahead so you won't be late.
An hour later...
Emma: I did it again, Jacob! I did it!
Jacob: Congratulations, sister! I'm so proud of you.
Emma: It's time for the party!
Mr. Ferreira: Congratulations, dear.
Emma: Thank you.
Mrs. Rossi: Congratulations, darling.
Emma: Thank you.
⸻
Emma decided to hold a simple meeting and said...
Emma: Listen to me carefully, today there will be a party at the restaurant (DA VINCI), and I hope everyone can attend.
Everyone (in unison): Of course, we will come.
Emma: Thank you all, and Jacob, please confirm the event at the restaurant.
Jacob: Certainly, I'll confirm everything.
Emma: Thank you, Jacob.

Emma returned home with her brother Jacob, then went directly and hugged her mother, while Jacob hugged his father, and they said:
Emma: I did it!
Jacob: She did it!
Edward: I'm so proud of you, my daughter!
Isabel: I'm so, so proud of you, my princess!
Jacob: What about me? I deserve some pride too!
Edward and Isabel: And you too, dear!
Emma: Hurry up, get ready for the party!
Edward: Darling, we won't be able to attend today, you know we are getting old.
Emma: Please, Dad!
Isabel: Darling, please!
Emma: Mom, please!
Edward: Fine.
Emma: I love you all!
Edward: And we love you more, my dear!
Emma got ready, then dressed in a long dark blue dress, made of silky fabric that shimmered gently under the light. The dress had a modern design, with transparent and elegant sleeves, and a thin belt at the waist that highlighted her figure. She completed her look with stylish high heels and a small silver handbag that added a touch of shine. Her hair was styled simply and neatly, with a few strands falling delicately around her face.
Emma: What do you think?
Isabel: As always, you look beautiful, my daughter.
Edward: Like a princess. I mean, you really are a princess.

Emma smiled as she saw her family, holding her heart full of pride and joy. When she saw the tears in Jacob's eyes, she smiled and said:
"I'll always be your little one, won't I?"
Jacob, in a warm voice, replied: "Forever, my little one. But don't grow up too fast, the world isn't ready to see you grow."
Then a gentle smile spread on Emma's face, and she looked at her mother:
"Mom, I'll always be here, but today is the beginning of something new."
Isabel, with a hopeful smile, hugged her and said: "Yes, darling, a new beginning, but I'll always see you as you were—our shining sun in our lives."
Emma went to the party with pride, but in her heart, she carried those moments in her memory, to recall whenever she would need them in the future.
