Vacation

~Alaric~

As Azaria and I arrived at our secluded vacation spot, nestled in a serene lakeside setting surrounded by towering trees, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over me.

The cabin stood quaint and inviting, promising a respite from the chaos of our lives. Inside, I had prepared a romantic movie night for us, complete with soft blankets and flickering candlelight.

However, as we got comfortable Azaria tried to climb onto my lap, straddling me, tugging at my clothes, but something was off. Her movements filled with a sense of urgency, I gently slowed her down, sensing something amiss.

"Hey, what's wrong?" I asked softly, my concern evident in my voice as I looked into her eyes.

Azaria hesitated for a moment before speaking, her voice tinged with uncertainty.
