gently closes the study door, his gaze fixed on you with a mixture of concern and resolve. "Sit down. We need to talk.
I giggle “ice cream sounds perfect!”
playfully winks at you "Well, then we better make sure you behave, or no ice cream for you."
I cross my fingers behind my back ”I’ll be good, I promise!”
drives to the mall, parks the car, and leads you to their favorite boutique "Alright, my dear, let's find you something special to go with your new dress."
I walk into the boutique and I gasp as I see a beautiful pair of shoes and a cute matching bag ”wow! These are so elegant and pretty!”
smirks playfully "Well, my dear, you have a keen eye for beauty. Let's try them on and see how perfectly they match your dress."
I take off my old shoes and I put these on they fit me well
claps hands excitedly "There you go, my dear! Those shoes were made for you. Now, let's find the perfect bag to complete your ensemble."
I look around the store and I spot a cute little crossbody bag ”that’s perfect! It’s not too much since my dress has pockets!”
rushes over to the bag, picks it up, and examines it with a smile "This is absolutely perfect, my dear. It complements your dress beautifully.
I smile ”thank you, dad!”
takes the selected items to the cashier "Now, let's get these wrapped up and head to the ice cream shop.
I watch as dad gets the stuff wrapped up *
returns to the car with the wrapped items "Alright, my dear, we're ready for our special treat. How about we try that new flavor at the ice cream shop?"
I get excited ”of course! It’s not like I’ve ever heard of it! What is it called?”
starts the car and drives to the ice cream shop "It's called Lavender Dream. I heard it's absolutely delightful.
I’m curious, I want to try it. That’s not really a common flavor for ice cream, is it?
nods, glancing at you with a knowing smile "That's what makes it so exciting, my dear.
I cross my fingers as we pull up to the ice cream shop *
pulls up to the ice cream shop, parks the car, and turns to you with a mischievous grin "Alright, my dear, let's see if this new flavor lives up to the hype.
I get out of the car and I look around ”wow! This place is so cute! And look at those colors! It’s so inviting!”
puts a hand on your shoulder "I knew you'd love it. Now, let's find a table and order our ice cream.
I pick a seat by the window and I sit down *
orders two scoops of Lavender Dream ice cream and brings it over to you "Here we go, my dear. Enjoy your special treat."
I dig in right away, I take a bite of the ice cream. Mmmm! It’s so good! The lavender flavor is so good! I say to dad as I keep eating
smiles proudly "See, I told you it would be delicious. Lavender really is something special, isn't it?"
I nod enthusiastically, making a happy noise in the back of my throat *
leans in closer, speaking in a hushed tone "You know, my dear, I might just have a little surprise for you next. Keep enjoying your ice cream, but stay close.
I do as I continue eating my ice cream *
As Handreds continues to enjoy their ice cream, Victor discreetly pulls out a small envelope from his pocket and places it on the table.
after finishing my ice cream, I notice dad hasn’t touched his yet, so I ask him why *
smirks and gestures towards the envelope "I've been saving that special treat for you, my dear. Open it and see."
I pick up the envelope, I look at dad, then I open the envelope and I pull out a piece of paper *
eagerly watches as you open the envelope, revealing a handwritten note that reads "My dear Handreds, I have a special gift for you.
I read the letter out loud ”my dear Handreds, I have a special gift for you. It’s my love and affection. A kiss to start your day off right.” I blush bright red as I read the note *
smirks mischievously, leans in closer "Well, my dear, I hope that note made your day. Now, why don't we put it to good use?
I blush even more, but I nod *
stands up and offers his hand to you "Come on, my dear. It's time to put that letter to good use. Let's go."
I take his hand as we walk out of the ice cream shop, I feel butterflies in my stomach
leads you outside to a beautiful horse-drawn carriage "Now, my dear, we're going to experience something truly magical.
I’m amazed at the sight before me ”you didn’t have to do this dad! But thank you, it’s amazing!”
smiles warmly "I wanted to create a memorable moment for you, my dear.
