she suddenly remembered and turned to ask him, establishing a natural talking environment for both of them. "I thought you weren't talking to me," he teased her. "Ethan!" She seethed under her breath, hating that he was using her own words against her. "You do know what a vacation is right? It is a holiday. Leisure time away from work or duty which is devoted to rest or pleasure. That is the theme here. Rest and no work," Ethan explained to her calmly with a smile stressing the word 'WORK', which made her contort her face in displeasure because of what he was saying.

Ally's dad said. Dad smiled and nodded. Allison and I hugged again before she carried her bag. "See you again Maya.", Allison said. "What about a family vacation next weekend to keep the children together for their holidays?" Mom asked. " Oh sure. That's gonna be great. We can leave after then." Ally's dad responded. They were going to California. That's were Ally's dad worked. Ally and I are looking forward to this family vacation cos it's a special vacation we are gonna have in a very long time.

I placed my hand in his and he smiled widely and hugged me “Vacation?” Zion and William asked from the living room “Did I hear vacation?” Charisa asked from the kitchen “Yesssss, we're going on a vacation” I answered them excitedly “When he gets better” They all ran into the dining room “Really? Are we coming too” Charisa asked referring to she and the kids “Of course you guys are” “Yayyyyyyyyy” the kids shouted “Where are we going” Zion asked when he calmed down

I asked He sighed deeply. “I’m considering another vacation, to get out of this place with the kids.” ‘A vacation?’ my breath hitched. That was unexpected. “They've technically been on one. Don't think they'll be exhausted for another?” I asked, referring to my twins. “That's because we weren't there with them. They were technically having a school trip, not a vacation. With us by their side, I'm sure they won't mind another getaway. The school definitely wouldn't either.” he said

“Ava, we’ve talked about this before. Do you ever listen when we speak?” I opened my mouth to argue, then closed it. Fair point. Between work, adjusting to life after college, and spending time with Ethan, I’d been a little… distracted. “Where?” I asked instead, dropping my bag onto a chair. “A private resort. Just close family and some friends,” Dad answered simply. Okay. That didn’t sound bad. A vacation wasn’t a terrible idea. It had been a while since we’d all gone somewhere together. Then Mom dropped the second bombshell.

She sniffled a little, obviously trying not to cry and ruin her makeup. “When is the last time you took a vacation?” I asked her. “What?” She looked a little confused. “A vacation.” I smiled down at her, loving the little dimple she had between her eyebrows when she thought too hard. “Maybe five years ago?” She sniffled again. “I’m not too sure.” “Well, after tonight I’m taking you on one, three weeks of just relaxing; my treat. Where do you want to go? The Bahamas? Hawaii? Italy? I hear Italy is especially beautiful this time of year.”

Eavon’s voice was a low rumble, a promise of a world away from everything. “We’re going to a private island,” he’d said with a boyish grin, “No one can bother us there. No phones, no emails, no family drama. Just you and me.” A small, hopeful part of me wanted to believe him, to let go of the nagging suspicion that this "vacation" was an elaborate distraction. Still, I smiled and nodded, thinking a private island would be the perfect place to get some answers..

And now, this annoying guy is going to be with me? “I rescheduled my business trip,” he said, his eyes are still on the road but I saw how he got panicked a little bit, “and decided that I also wanted to have vacation for a while.” “And your supposed vacation is in the States with me?” I sarcastically pointed out. “Yes.” I frowned. “Do you even know what vacation is? Going to beaches or hiking in the mountains? Not laying on the bed all day and waiting for me to come home from the university?”

He’s in his casual clothes, like he’d planning to take a day off. “Daddy told me we’ll be going on a vacation with you…” Claire blurted out. Ellyse was caught off guard, she pulled away from thei hug. “A vacation?” She asks her, surprised. Claire wiped her tears and sniffed, “Yes, with you,” She reiterated. “But…baby, mommy and daddy both have work-“ “It’s all settled. We’ll leave today for a three day vacation in Maldives,” Kai suddenly spoke, his tone firm.

"Valentine, Nancy... thank you. Truly. But for now, I need to focus on work. We will discuss the vacation later. I have a few things I need to wrap up first." Valentine studied her for a moment, his sharp eyes narrowing as if he could sense the shift in the room's energy. "You’re doing that thing again, Nadia. The 'I’m-carrying-the-world' look." "I'm just tired, Val. Go back to your Alpha." As he left, Nadia leaned toward her desk, the cold glow of the monitor reflecting in her eyes. The vacation was not a bad idea, she had never been on one. But with her uncles threat on her lap, she wondered if she could handle any frivolous distractions.
