As the sun dipped below the horizon, the estate morphed into a magical wondend. The outdoor stage was all decked out with twinkling lights and killer sound gear, setting the mood for something epic. The kids, buzzing with excitement, kept bugging everyone about when the magic show would kick off.


    Amanda had set up a sweet viewing area right in front of the stage and moved the dining tables so folks could chow down while catching the show.


    The kids were all about this setup, and Noah and Mia were stoked. Being kids, they were naturally hyped for the night''s spectacle.


    Since moving to the estate, they hadn''t ventured out much. At first, the farm, ranch, and vineyard were a st, but that novelty wore off pretty quick. Now, with a magic troupe rolling in, everyone was on the edge of their seats.


    Even Hubert, who usually liked his peace and quiet, came out to watch the show thanks to Amanda''s invite.


    Seeing Hubert and the kids so pumped, Sadie didn''t want to be a buzzkill. She went along with Amanda''s n to dine in the garden.


    Amanda, the mastermind of the night, made sure Hubert and the kids were seated with her, while Sadie and Joe got a separate, super romantic table decked out with roses.


    Joe was super grateful for Amanda''s thoughtful setup, and Sadie gave her thanks too.


    As the music kicked in, the show was about to start.


    The stage lit up with a rainbow of colors. A stunning woman was ying the piano, and a couple was dancing beside her. The spotlight, like a soft moonbeam, wrapped around them, creating a dreamy vibe. "This is just the opener," Amanda told the kids. "If it was all magic, it might get old, so we''ve got some other cool acts mixed in."


    "Awesome!" The kids cheered, eyes glued to the stage.


    Hubert, not really getting what was going on, ate while chatting with Percy and Pa, "In this cold, aren''t those dancers freezing in those skimpy outfits?"


    "Ha!" Pa burst outughing.


    "Oh, Dr. Henry, once they start dancing, they won''t feel the cold," Percy exined, a bit sheepish. "Good thing they don''t understand Celestianguage, or they''d be cracking up at us."


    "Speaking of which," Hubert nced at the three kids and sighed, "those kids are so young, yet they can speak Country Cnguage. Impressive!"


    "I swear, the kids of big shots are all little geniuses," Pa added. "Not only do they speak Country Cnguage, but their Celestianguage is pretty solid too."


    "I can follow along when they speak Celestianguage," Hubert chuckled.


    Hearing this, Paughed too.


    Seeing Hubert so happy, Sadie couldn''t help but smile.


    "Sadie, cheers," Joe raised his ss to her.


    Sadie clinked sses with him, took a sip, and reminded herself not to overdo it with the drinks.


    "This foie gras is pretty good. You should try it," Joe said gently.


    "Okay," Sadie refocused and chatted with Joe, "Joe, Micah''sing tomorrow to pick up Mia and he''s bringing Nathan along. I want to spend some time with Nathan, so can we invite them to stay at the estate for a few days?" "Of course, no problem," Joe agreed easily. "Micah''s a good friend of mine too, I''ll make sure to invite him."


    "I almost forgot you two are tight," Sadie smiled. "But Micah''s pretty proud, so who knows if he''ll want to stay. If he doesn''t, I''ll have Nathan stay for a few days."


    "Sure, whatever you decide," Joe nodded and said softly. "Sadie, no matter what you decide, I''m with you."


    "Thank you!" Sadie raised her ss to Joe.


    Joe, feeling great, downed his wine.


    Seeing themughing and chatting, Amanda felt a wave of relief, knowing all her efforts had paid off.
