Fedora loved New York City, so when her dad brought up the idea of staying with him for the summer Fedora jumped at the chance. A whole summer in New York City? It was going to be awesome.
But first her mom had to agree.
Her mom was tough, she never let her do anything fun so she knew she would have to warm up to the idea first. Sadly her dad disagreed and told her mom the same day he told Fedora.
“And why would I let you spend your last summer here with your dad?” her mom said to her after the phone call with her dad.
“Because I want to,” Fedora said, “a whole summer in New York City, it would be the best graduation present.”
Her mom seemed to consider that then shook her head, “I’ll think about.”
Fedora grinned, that was better than she expected.
The next few days consisted of Fedora remind her mom over and over again, every time her mom would say “i’m thinking about it.”
Fedora thought that if she asked enough her mom might get annoyed and just say yes, which Fedora should’ve known doesn’t work all the time but she was desperate.
Finally a few weeks before graduation her mom let out a sigh and agreed to let her stay with her for, as long as she promised she would come back for a week to say goodbye before college. Fedora agreed quickly to that and ran up to her room to tell Sacia.
Of course Sacia was excited for her, though she did mention a few times that she was jealous that her summer was going to be fun and exciting while she had to spend it in Italy with her relatives, which Fedora didn’t really see why that wasn’t exciting but she shrugged it off. Sacia was just being Sacia.
Finally it was after graduation her dad was there and it was time to head out for NYC. This time instead of taking a plane like she usually did her dad thought it would be fun to do a road trip, which Fedora sort disagreed since it would take away from her time in New York, but she knew her dad was trying so she didn’t say any of that and just played along.
The drive was going to take about four days, if they were fast which Fedora doubted since her dad wanted this to be a special father daughter bonding trip.
Now with all her stuff in her dad rental car she gave a hug to her mom, sort of just looked at Bentley and said good bye and completely ignored her step dad and then jumped in the rental car and waved as they pulled out and started their adventure.
