The sun had set hours earlier, yet I stayed curled up on the chair outside, a small smile on my face as I listened to the adults tell stories about their dating lives. 
It was rare to see them smile so.
To laugh.
And despite the bugs coming for me, I stayed.
Treasuring the moment.
Loving seeing the bonds form.
If only every moment could be like this.
