    "We''ve been waiting! Congrattions, Mom!" Cam eximed as she wrapped her mom in a hug, her face glowing with joy.

    "Mom, this room looks amazing! It really feels like a wedding!" Cam said, genuinely impressed as she looked around.


    "Yes, Cole arranged it all. He wanted to surprise us," ire replied, her smile radiating happiness.


    "I didn''t know Cole had such a romantic side," Erica added, genuinely surprised.
