To blend in and enjoy a normal day out, your parents decide to go on a shopping spree with you at a high-end mall. They’ve taken a few precautions, dressing in casual, less conspicuous attire and even donning sunglasses.

The toy store, filled with colorful objects and children's laughter, proved a perfect distraction for you as you dragged Valentina towards your desired destination. Alex, ever watchful, spotted a rival amongst the crowd and his body tensed. Val noticed his reaction, yet was determined to keep the day light and enjoyable.

"Stay close, piccola," Alex said, his voice low and protective. "We’ve got some old friends in the crowd."

Val smiled down at you and said, "Let’s make this quick, darling. Once we’re done, we’ll treat you as we promised," Val assured you, keeping her voice cheerful and light. "Just need to take care of a small business matter, and then we'll have plenty of time for ice cream."
