I had always loved spending time with my family, but this particular outing promised to be especially memorable. Raven and I were heading to the water park with my parents, Irene and Lily. It had been ages since we all did something fun together, and the thought of splashing around in the sun was incredibly appealing. I could already imagine the laughter and the warm, familial moments that would fill the day.
As I woke up that morning, sunlight streaming through the curtains, I felt a sense of excitement bubbling up. I glanced over at Raven, who was still peacefully asleep, her face relaxed and content. I leaned over and planted a soft kiss on her forehead, whispering, "Time to wake up, love. We've got a fun day ahead."
Raven stirred, blinking sleepily before her eyes focused on me. A smile spread across her face, and she stretched languidly. "Morning, Jade," she murmured. "Are you ready for today?"
