Rain and Alexander left Malibu Town after breakfast. Rain wanted to go to the orphanage but decided to stop at the Meta City Mall first, the largest shopping mall in the city, to buy some gifts for the kids and staff.
"Are you sure you're not going to work? You can just leave me here and call Rico to pick me up," she said as they entered the children's section, hand in hand.
Alexander sighed with a playful look in his eyes. "Hmm, are you already trying to get rid of me? Remember, I run my own schedule. Unless there's an emergency, I'm all yours."
She laughed, pulling him close to hug his arm. The idea of wandering through the mall together, choosing things for the children, filled her with excitement. Then, for a brief moment, she imagined herself and Alexander shopping for baby items together, and her cheeks grew warm.
