As the lively chatter in the living room began to fade, a peaceful hush settled over the room.
The Carter family, known for their skills and worldly experience, had an innate sense of style and sophistication.
When they heard that beautiful song, sung by one of their own, they were captivated, their faces lighting up with awe and delight.
Once the last note faded, the guests seemed to snap out of a delightful daze.
Avery turned to Josie, her surprise evident.
"Wow, you sound even better than I remembered!"
During Advent Sunday, Josie had wowed the crowd at the Carter family's farm stay, catching the eye of Katie Limbert, the co-director of the Rosemont City Children's Art Troupe.
Katie had been genuinely enthusiastic, spending half an hour talking about her troupe and showing off videos of their performances.
Josie watched the clips in awe.
"If I join the troupe, can I sing and dance like them?" she asked, her eyes sparkling with hope.
