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 I*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 I*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.
