The first rays of the morning sun gently kissed the town of Manali, painting the sky in hues of gold and pink. In the heart of Rodrigues Mansion, Linda, with a warm smile, approached Phoenix's room. As she opened the door, the soft sunlight spilled into the room, gradually dispelling the remnants of night.
Linda (softly): Rise and shine, my beautiful Phoenix. It's a brand new day.
Phoenix, still half-asleep, mustered a smile as she stretched lazily. "Morning, Mom. What's the weather report today? Still pretending to be Houston?"
Linda chuckled, "Oh, you know me too well. But seriously, it's a bit chilly. I think even Houston would envy our weather today."
Phoenix, propping herself up, asked with a playful grin, "And how's our little sunshine doing?" referring to her baby stepsister.
