"Sorry sweetheart, we can't bring the dogs along with us as much as I wanted to." Mr. Simons chuckled.

She lets out sad huff and crosses her arms together, glancing at her brother. She narrowed her eyes at him, "You better give them goodnight kisses while I'm away."

Tommy playfully rolls his eyes, throwing an arm around her neck and started giving her the noogies to her horror. "Yes smols, I will even tell them spooky bedtime stories for you, if you want."

She crinkles her nose together but there was an evident smile on her face, "get off me!" she said.

Despite the urge of wanting to punch his side for messing with her hair, she just let him do it. She wanted for that moment to last long as she was going to miss her father and brother terribly.

"Children keep your arses down back there, we don't want this car to tip over because both of you." Their mother half jested at them. The two siblings looks at each other, sharing a small giggle and an identical smile with each other.

"We're all set. Now, go say your goodbyes to your father and brother, darling." Her mother gently pushes her towards them. Tori's lips turn downwards as she walked over to hug her father first, while her mother smothered Tommy with hugs and kisses to his dismay. She could hear him protesting from the side.

"I'm gonna miss you dad." She murmured against her father's coat with a sad tone in her voice. Mr. Simons smiles gently, closing his eyes as he savors the warm hug. "I'm going to miss you as well, sweetheart."

She first lets go from the hug and gently smiled up at her father. Mr. Simons couldn't help but cup his hands on the sides of her cheeks, caressing it gently with his thumbs. "Stay safe out there, alright squirt? Don't forget to call us in the morning and night. And oh— have fun out there." He reminded her, smiling softly down at her.

The little girl couldn't help but giggle at him, "We will," she smiled. He ruffles her hair once more before turning to his wife. She reaverts her attention to the other side as she lets her parents have their moment. Hearing footsteps, she turns her head and unconsciously smiles up at her older brother.

"Hey" Tommy looks at her and nods his head slowly. "Hey" she replied. They continued to stare at each other in awkward silence before bursting out of laughter.

"Wh-what the heck Tori!"

"What?! I thought it was a staring contest or something!" She cackled. He laughs once more and walks closer to her. "Oh come here you," He gently wraps his arms around her, and leans down a bit as they both reciprocated a hug.

Tori closed her eyes as she deeply inhales onto her brother's shirt, smelling the faint cologne that always gives her comfort. She used to steal one of his bottles without him noticing because of how good it was, but it wasn't too long when she caught by him. After knowing the reason why his bottle of cologne keeps on disappearing, the next morning he bought her a bottle of his favorite cologne as a early birthday present to her. She obviously loved it as she always uses it anywhere.

"I wish you could come with us." Tommy could hear the sadness lace onto her voice making him tighten arms around her slightly. He leans down and softly plants a kiss on top of her blonde head, not caring that his neck was aching from looking down. "Me too smols, me too..." he sighs, placing his chin onto the top of her head.

"Take care of Mum for me, will you?"

"Of course Tom."

"Kids it's time to go!"
