The next morning.
Shi Ying and his family of three opened the window, leaned on the balcony of the seaside villa, and used their phones to capture the sunrise.
Downstairs, the cheerful calls of George and Heather came through.
"Daddy! Mommy!"
"Ruby!"
Shi Ying greeted them with a friendly smile, turning the camera to focus on his daughter and son-in-law by the beach, and then shifted it to the horizon.
Xueli had one arm around her husband's waist, holding Ruby in the other.
Ruby cheered excitedly, "Sunrise! Sunrise! Sister and brother are in the light of the sunrise!"
On the beach, George embraced Heather, both gazing at the horizon.
When the sun emerged fully like a yolk separated from the white, everyone felt bathed in the light of happiness.
George and Heather joined Shi Ying's family for breakfast.
The chef arrived with supplies to prepare their meal by the villa's poolside.
