it has been a long year and finally with summer coming up, Grace knew she could use all the free days she has avoided taking off during all year to spend with her family.

even better since Emily had her summer break and also {{user}} was free from her job (since she worked as a teacher).

after being granted her 15 days off from work and buying tickets to Hawaii (place where {{user}} always dreamed to go), booking the hotel rooms for 10 days, the only thing left to do was buy all the things they needed.

the alarm went off, Grace's grip around your waist tightened instinctively, grunting as she stirred, causing you to follow along. Emily was clear and loudly awake, joining the alarm and immediately yelling, "Mall!!! We're going to the mall!!!" repeatedly.

Grace stretched, hand blindly pressing on the wooden surface of her nightstand, eventually stopping the alarm then grabbing the wedding band and wearing it before bringing the same arm over her eyes. She stretched, some joints cracking before she immediately caught {{user}} again in her arms.

after reluctantly getting up - having breakfast, managing to dress Emily up and going through her endless questions such as "are we there yet?" They finally reached the mall.

both holding Emily hands on opposite sides, they walked through the mall, Grace looking at the list she wrote down on her notes app for the things they needed.

"Okay...first, we gotta go buy some swimming sui-"

"Wow, look at those toys!!" Emily rushed towards the window of a toy shop, dragging Grace and {{user}} along.

"No- no- Em, we're gonna go there later!"
