going to be late.”

“Just give me a sec” I yell back as I quickly put on my outfit for the day.

Nowadays, I’m more comfortable with dresses, so that’s what I had on 1 had on a cute sundress

with thin straps and that reached above my knees. I paired them with sandals. Since we were

going to spend most of the time walking, I assumed they will be more comfortable.

My hair was in in a curled pony tail with loose tendrils framing my face. I didn’t have much make

up on. Mainly because I felt too lazy to do it.

I didn’t want to do this whole thing. I easily get tired nowadays and I didn’t want to ruin the day by

being worn out too quickly. The smile on Noah’s and Gunner’s faces is what made me change my

mind. They were both so excited for this day.

Gunner needed this after what happened last week. He needed to feel loved and treasured. I hoped

that being surrounded by those that love him will give him new memories. Memories that would

replace those few painful ones of his mother.

I take my purse and open my door only to find Noah waiting for me outside.

“I’m ready. Let’s go”
