Gracia was still at work,wrapping up her tasks for the day. She had finished her project,saved her files, and shut down her computer, her mind began to buzz with excitement. She couldn't wait to share the surprise with her family. As she packed her things and said goodbye to her colleagues, it was as if she was expecting something exciting..As Gracia stepped out of the office building, she breathed deeply, a gentle breeze rustling through her hair. She felt free and excited, leaving behind the confines of her cubicle and the tasks that had occupied her day was a relief.“What a day.” She exclaimed.She walked quickly across the parking lot, her feet making clicking sounds on the pavement. She was almost skipping, as excited as if she couldn't wait to get home and share her news with her family. She weaved around other cars and people with her eyes fixed on her car in the distance.“I know Dad will be happy to hear this.”As she got closer,she pulled out her keys and unlocked the door
Gracia playfully rolled her eyes. "Mom, Dad, stop it! You're going to make me blush." She tried to sound grim, but her voice betrayed her amusement. She couldn't help but laugh along with her parents, their joy was infectious.Her mother teased, "Oh, come on, Gracia! We're just having a little fun. You have to admit, this is quite the mystery." She winked at Gracia's father, who also chuckled."We're just happy to see you happy, sweetie," her father said, smiling.Gracia smiled back, feeling grateful for her supportive and playful parents. "I'm just glad I have you guys to share this with," she said.Her father put an arm around her shoulders, pulling her into a gentle hug. "We're always here for you, sweetie.

It was a sunny Wednesday, Harvey woke up at 7:00 am to the sound of his alarm blaring in his ear. He sleepily reached over to it and turned it off.“This damn alarm would definitely make me deaf one day,” he grumbled. And sat up in bed, rubbing the sleep off from his eyes. Then, he yawned, stretching his arms above his head, and swung his legs over the side of the bed. His feet searched for his slippers and found them tucked away under the bed, exactly where he had left them the night before. He slipped his feet into the soft slippers. He stood up, his legs slightly wobbly from the sudden movement, and made his way to the kitchen. Even though he had his maids, he usually did his kitchen activities by himself.As he walked, the soft slippers barely made a sound on the floor, and it felt quiet . The sunlight was streaming through the window showing the small dust particles floating around, and the scent of fresh coffee beans filled his nostrils, tempting him to start the brewing.As he
As he approached his car, he reached out his hands, his fingers trailing along the curve of the car's body. He stopped beside the driver's side door and admired his luxurious car that he thought he couldn't afford.“Life!” he said, with a smile dancing on his lips. Then he reached out to the door and opened it. The door swung upwards with a soft creak, showing the luxurious interior.Harvey slid into the driver's seat, the expensive leather hugged him. And then, he closed the door behind him. And was ready to go.He started the engine and with a smooth turn of the key, the car purred to life beneath him, the dashboard lights flickered like a warm welcome, shining the sleek interior. He put the car in gear and with that he pulled out of his driveway, the wheels hummed against the pavement as he made his way towards the hospital.Harvey's Porsche glided through the streets, its sleek design and powerful engine heating up. It was a smooth and effortless ride to the hospital. Then he bega
The doctor smiled warmly, his eyes crinkling at the corner "I'll get the discharge papers started. You'll be home in no time, Nadia. And I’m sure Homemade meals and other things await you.” he teased.Nadia’s face lit up at the mention of home made meals “Oh yeah! I’ve been craving a lot of food for a while now.”The doctor chuckled. "Well, I'm sure it'll taste even better after a few weeks of hospital food. I'll get the paperwork started, and we'll get you discharged as soon as possible."The doctor gestured at Harvey, who was sitting beside Nadia's bed, his eyes fixed on his sister with a mix of relief and joy. "And I'm sure Harvey here will make sure you get home safely and settled in."Harvey nodded, his eyes never leaving Nadia's face. "You bet, doc. I'll take good care of her."The doctor smiled, his eyes shining with warmth. "I know you will, Harvey. You two are a great team. And Nadia, don't forget to take it easy for a while, okay? No overexerting yourself. You've got a lot o
As they finished their meal and prepared to leave, Johnny came over to their booth, wearing a warm smile on his face. “Sir, it seems you are done, did you enjoy our burger?”Nadia looked at him, and grinned. "Thanks, Johnny! Your burger was the perfect medicine after my hospital stay. it’s so good to be back in the real world, enjoying real food and good company.”Johnny chuckled and patted her shoulder. "Glad to hear it, Ma’am. You can come back and make more orders anytime, okay? We'll keep the burgers and fries coming, and I'll even throw in some extra cheese and bacon bits just for you."As they left the diner, Nadia took a deep breath of the fresh air, feeling a sense of freedom and joy she hadn't experienced in weeks. She leaned on Harvey's arm, feeling grateful for his support and companionship. "Thanks, Harvey," she said, her voice filled with gratitude. "This has been the perfect day. I couldn't have asked for a better welcome home."Harvey smiled, looking very happy. "Anyti
As the night wore on, Nadia slept peacefully, her brother's arm was still hung around her shoulders. Harvey sat there, watching over her, with a mix of love and concern carved on his face. He knew she had been through a lot lately, and he was ready to take all the past pain away and make her extremely happy.As the hours passed, the house grew quiet, the only sound being heard was Nadia's gentle breathing. Harvey slowly got up, careful not to disturb or even wake her up, so he covered her up with a soft blanket. He stretched his arm and yawned, then tiptoed to the kitchen, got himself a glass of water, and sat down at the table, his eyes still fixed on his sister.“Gosh,” he truly loves her so much.He thought back to her banters, she was truly a chatterbox, she was a happy soul, and he hoped that her smiles would last longer. He was grateful for the bond they shared, staring at her gave him great joy, and he vowed to always protect her like how she had protected and cared for him in
She slipped into a plush robe, wrapping herself in it. Then, She tied the belt around her waist and felt so comfortable.By the moment she came out, she was looking more refreshed. Harvey greeted her with a warm smile. "Hey, sis, how do you feel now? Hope the water helped?"Nadia nodded, still feeling a bit fragile but trying to muster up some strength. "I feel good, yeah, the bath helped," she declared, but her voice was barely above a whisper. "Thanks, Harvey. You're the best brother anyone could ask for."Harvey's face softened, the constant appreciation was getting him emotional."I’ve told you already, that’s what families are for, and you’re the only family I have left, if I don’t take care of you, who will? " he asked, staring at her. "Now, how about some breakfast? I made your favorite pancakes, and they're still warm from the griddle. And I even added some fresh fruit and whipped cream, just the way you like it."Nadia's eyes lit up slightly, and her stomach growled at the m
