Another week had passed, and Violet's mother was recovering faster than she anticipated. And because all she did was sleep and eat the past few weeks, she was getting tired of staying at home. Before she got sick, she had a job, went to the supermarket, cooked their meals, and went out whenever she wanted to. But these days, she felt so cooped up, so she asked Violet if they could go out to the mall and just walk around.
How could Violet say no when she was just so happy that her mother was getting better, and since they never used to do this before, Violet thought today was a good day to start.
There weren't too many shoppers walking about, so it was easy to spot Gabriel walking at the mall. Violet and her mom were walking to one of the clothing stores when she saw him. She had missed him since they went out for their date, so she excitedly tried to catch his attention.
