The Thompson family sat around the large dining table in the suite's open-plan living area, the morning sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The view of London's skyline stretched out beyond the glass, but most of the family's attention was on the spread of food laid out before them. Room service had outdone itself—fluffy pancakes, golden pastries, fresh fruit, eggs cooked to perfection, and a variety of juices and hot drinks.
Emily was in her element, already halfway through a plate piled high with pancakes and a chocolate croissant on the side. "Mom, these pancakes are amazing! They're so fluffy, they're like clouds!" she declared, her voice muffled by a mouthful of syrupy goodness.
Caroline, sitting across from her, smiled indulgently. "Emily, slow down. You'll make yourself sick before we even leave the suite."
Emily waved her fork in the air dismissively. "Totally worth it," she said with a grin, diving back into her plate.
