Mara

I wake up snuggled up to a warm, hard chest. I carefully untangle myself from Dylan, being careful not to wake him, and make my way to the bathroom.

When I am in there, I shut the door and look at myself in the mirror; grimacing at the sight I see.

My face is noticeably thinner and paler, as the doctor said, my condition has deteriorated. Before I can stare any longer, the usual bile rises and I throw up into the toilet.

Once I am finished, I sit on the toilet seat with my head in my hands.

"You okay?" I hear a voice laced with worry say, making my head snap up.

Dylan stands there with a concerned look on his face. I nod, sighing and looking to the ground. I see him shake his head out of the corner of his eye as he moves so he is crouched in front of me.

"Things are only going to get worse aren't they?" I say as tears prickle my eyes.

Dylan closes his eyes for a few seconds as he exhales. "You don't deserve this." He says as he pulls me into an embrace. I don't let the threading tears fall as I hold him close to me.

"I'm not going to let that ruin our day." He says after a few moments. "What's next on the list?" He asks as I pull it out and give it to him. As he reads the next task on the list, his face brightens. He looks up from the paper and smiled at me lightly.

"And what childhood place would you like to revisit?" He asks, still holding his smile.

"Well I thought I'd leave that up to you." I say, giving him a warm smile.

"I have the perfect place." He simpers.

Dylan

Memories of all of the places we visited as children flood through my mind as a smile is fixed onto my face.

However, above all there is only one that stands out.

One perfect place where I know she will love.

Giving the place one last thought, I give Mara one last kiss on the cheek before telling her to be ready by ten.

I'm going to make this a day she will never forget.

I needed to get a chapter out sooo...that's why it's short.

I'm not sure if I published yesterday tbh so if I didn't I'm sorry.

Thanks for reading! This was just a filler kinda.
