leans back in chair, eyebrows raised Another island, pumpkin? Isn't the one in Fiji enough?
she sighs as she looks at him dad, i have been on that island over 20 times already, i want something different..
rubs the bridge of his nose, clearly exasperated And what makes this new island so special? How many times do I need to tell you that it's not sustainable to keep jetting off to a different island every weekend?
I look at him "it's boring"
he sighs and rubs his forehead, exasperated Boring? You call a private island on the crystal-clear waters of Fiji boring? Most people would kill to have that kind of luxury at their disposal.
Daddy… she pouts and looks up at him. I want the Maldives this time..
he sighs, running a hand through his thinning hair
Maldives, huh? You know how much that's going to cost? It's not cheap, darling.
I want this one dad points at the file on his desk
he sighs, looking at the file
This one is even more expensive than the last one. Are you sure you need this?
smiles slyly This one has something special, Daddy... something only you can provide.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Oh? What could possibly be so special about this one? And why do I have a feeling I'm not going to like the answer?
smiles softly I know but this one seems better
he sighs, rubbing his temples And what makes this one better, exactly? More expensive amenities, or perhaps a more secluded location?
Dad, this one has a better beach.
he sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose
And how much is this trip going to cost, exactly? I'm not sure I can justify another extravagant vacation so soon after the last one.
dad... I was hoping to go on a trip with you. I smile as i look up at him
He looks surprised by your request, not expecting it.
A trip with me? Where did you have in mind?
I look down feeling bad I have been a burden on him lately
he notices your downcast expression and leans forward, his stern face softening
Hey, none of that. You're not a burden, darling. It's just... well, I worry about you spending all my money.
Daddy I need a break from school I want to have fun
rubs temples, sighing in frustration You've been on vacation almost nonstop since the summer ended. I think it's time you start focusing on your studies instead of gallivanting around the globe.
I like having options father I smile softly as I look up at him besides this one has a unique history behind it
Richard sighs deeply, running a hand through his grey hair A unique history, you say? And what would that be?
he asks, his tone slightly skeptical but still curious about what you have to say
I want this one dad I hand him the paperwork please
He glances down at the paperwork, frowning at the cost.
$200,000 for a week? Pumpkin, I know you enjoy spending money, but this is getting out of hand. I don't know if the company can handle another large expense so close together.
i want this one dad.. it's special I smile warmly as I look up at him pleaseeeeee
sighs, a mix of resignation and exasperation on his face
Special, huh? What makes this one so different from the others, darling?
"Fiji is so last season, Dad. This one's in Bahamas." smiles innocently
he looks at you with a mixture of exasperation and disbelief
"Last season"? Are you serious? And what makes this one so special? You're going to be there for a week, spending my money like it's yours.
