SWAT - Round 1 - Smith

When the entire Curious-Smith clan got together, it made for a lively gathering.

Pascal enjoyed it, and was glad that his baby would grow up surrounded by a large, supportive family.

Sure, they disagreed, they even bickered sometimes, but at the end of the day, they had each other’s backs.

Jenny was responsible for providing refreshments, which included some Santa cookies - since, as fate would have it, Jill’s birthday coincided with Winterfest!

Strangetown’s first white Winterfest in living memory, and the entire house had been decorated to mark the occasion.

As the sun dipped beyond the cliffs, the whole family gathered around the table where Jill’s birthday cake waited, 13 lit candles arrayed in the middle.

The whole family except Johnny. 

Jill told herself she didn’t care that her brother had decided to skip her birthday to go to prom with his girlfriend, whom he’d made up with after their argument. Clearly, Ophelia Nigmos was more important than his sister!

But she did care, and it slightly soured her otherwise great mood.
