Chase and Sam were the winners. Sam jumped for joy, his smile never fading. Chase scooped him up in a hug. Ashley captured the moment. Sam was undoubtedly the happiest child here. Ashley wondered if Sam would have been even happier if Tanya had been there.

A parent approached Chase, and they fell into conversation. Kelly’s mother stood beside Ashley. As the game ended, Ashley finished filming. Kelly’s mother said, “Your child and his father have a wonderful bond.”

“Yes,” Ashley agreed. Their bond was indeed strong, and it would likely grow stronger. What Kelly’s mother didn’t say was that it was rare for a child to be closer to their father than their mother. Perhaps it was because Chase was a great father.

Kelly’s mother had been observing other parents; their reactions-laughter, cheers, or worried expressions-showed they were a unified family.

Ashley’s situation was different. While she was smiling, there was a palpable disconnect between her, Chase, and Sam. Considering Sam’s closeness to Tanya, it wasn’t surprising. Ashley must be hurting, but she didn’t know how to offer comfort.

Ashley noticed the compassion in the eyes of Kelly’s mother, knowing she’d guessed what had happened. She smiled. The worst was over. She knew she was here only because was Tanya was unavailable. She felt like an outsider.

Chase and Sam returned. Sam asked to see the videos. Ashley sent them to both of them.

The games were over. Sam had won two trophies. He asked Chase to take pictures of him with his trophies. He then turned to Ashley. Mommy, please take some pictures of Daddy and me.”

“Okay, Ashley obliged, taking photos for them.

After sending them to Sam. Chase suggested, “Let me take some of you and Śam.”

Yes, Mommy, come on!” Sam urged.

Fine, Ashley agreed.

Chase took some photos of Ashley and Sam. Later, Ashley’s phone rang. It was Tim.

I need to answer this,” she said.

“Okay, Mommy!” Sam replied.

‘Go ahead, Chase added.

After a fifteen-minute work call with Tim, Ashley returned. Chase and Sam video were chatting with someone. She didn’t interrupt, reviewing the work documents Tim had sent,

Sam waved her over. “Mommy, let’s take a group photo, then we can go eat!”

Ashley joined them, and they posed with other parents for a group photo. Then, Ms. Davis took individual family photos.

The event was officially over.
