Chapter 55 

Woah, these pictures look amazing. This place looks… Wow.” Hayley said in amazement as she moved the brochure closer to her face. “I can swim a lot! I get to wear that new swim suit that I got Hayley already began planning this trip in her head. 

She was far too excited to think clearly at present and I let her be but my anxiety and fears were growing ten fold. All I could think about was her being away from me for a whole week. She would not be within driving or reachable distance to me and if, god forbid, she needed me in an emergency, what the hell was I going to do?! 

Dante did not think about that and this was one of the times he really needed to consult with me before making any sort of final plans. But but the look of it every thing was already finalized and set. This was him breaking the news to us. 

“When do we leave?” Hayley’s question snapped me out of my internal thoughts and I looked to Dante awaiting his response. 

“Tomorrow morning just before 10 a.m. I’ll pick you up a little bit before that. Make sure you’re all ready and packed.” He said to Hayley not once even looking at me for any sort of go ahead or approval that this was all okay. 

“A whole week? Isn’t that a little too long?” I asked barely recognising my own unsettled voice. 

Dante looked at me with a frown like he couldn’t understand my hesitation. “Yes. A whole week. I don’t see how that would be an issue. If we’re going so far we might as well make a trip out of it. in fact, if any thing, it’s quite a short trip.” He shrugged but didn’t get a chance to say a word more because Hayley’s squealed in her excitement before jumping of the bench. 

“I am going to get my suitcase out right now and start packing.” She didn’t wait for any one to say any thing before she hopped in to the house but I knew that I would have to repack her entire bag to make sure the necessary items were packed. 

This really is one of those times that you should have consulted with me before going ahead with it.” I said after Hayley had been well out of earshot. 

I didn’t want her to see me as the less fun or party pooper parent fussing over some thing she was so looking forward to but it seemed like I had to be the logical, reasonable parents here for once and actually think clearly for both of them. 

Dante tilted his head to the side in confusion. “And why is that?” He raised a hauty brow at me challenging me and my objection to this trip. 

I couldn’t believe that he was even asking me why he should have consulted with me about this whole thing. Did he really not see why he should have discussed this with me first? 

“Because Hayley can’t just be out in some new place when she is prone to being overwhelmed at any minute when her condition acts up. You should know by now that it isn’t predictable and neither is she the easiest to console during those times. If she happens to need me during that week, I will not be able to reach her.” I felt my face and shoulders, tense up as I lay all my issues with this trip on the table. 

Chapter 55 

Dante pressed his l*ps in to a thin line. He blinked then relaxed like he heard my concerns and they were not valid

“Oh. I know that. It is why you are coming along with us. I would never book such a trip with out your knowledge let alone take her for a whole week when I know it would be uncomfortable.” He said gently yet with a bit of a bite to it for me thinking that he would do such a thing. 

“Oh?The single word escaped my l*ps. 

“I thought it would be nice for us to go on a little trip. Hayley has been hinting at it every time I took her some where this week. She really wants to go out and it matters to her greatly that we go together. He explained and I was not surprised by Hayley. 

With her continuous questions about us being a proper family, it made sense that she would want us to do other family activities together. 

“But I can’t just up and leave for a whole week. I have meetings to attend and things to see to.” I remembered work and my own responsibilities. 

Dante threw me a sly look. “Really? You’ve left for nearly a whole month not even two weeks ago.” He said playfully but I still glared at him. “Besides, the meeting is only taking place the following week. He reminded me but it was also a slight jab confirming that he knew about the meeting. 

I was quite for a few seconds trying to think this over… trying to wrap my head around one week with Dante in the same living space with no break or getaway. 

Just agree to it. For Hayley.” He coaxed sincerely and I hated that I had actually been considering it. 

“It will be a nice break and Hayley will get to experience a true holiday for the first time.” He said continuing his selling of this weekend away. 

“I will think about it.” I said and saw him grin at me. “What is the itinerary looking like?” 

Dante fished out his phone. “I have a rough one drawn up. I’ll email it to you and you can make amends to it if you’d like.” He said surprising me with his open to change demeanor. 

“I’ll have a look over at it.” I said trying not to look too happy about this but I was a little excited myself. 

I was ready to redo the last vacation that I had been on with this one and I was all too happy about that.  sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
