Nika turned her head and picked up the flowers her boyfriend left her. “Good to be home,” she said. She turned her key and smelt the sweet honey scent of her house. Her dog ran to her and licked her face. “Did you miss me, huh? Well, let’s wait for Alex, okay?” The dog barked in approval. He just walked in. “Speak of the devil,” she muttered under her breath.

“Hey babe,” Nika started “how was work?”

“David’s really beating my ass. How about you?”

“Good. What is he making you do now?”

“Extra paperwork, add me to the hotline, and he’s been hustling me lately.”

“Oh that’s too bad. Did you say hi to Maxine?”

“No, not yet,” Alex walked over to Maxine “Hey max, were you good?”

She barked in response.

“Hey Alex,” Nika called from the couch, “do you want to go camping this weekend?”

“I’ll use my vacation days, but how long do you want the trip to be?”

“I don’t know, like 3 days. Is that ok?”

“Yes, just long enough.”

“Let’s go pack.”

The two walked upstairs getting ready to pack. They packed enough clothes for three days, their toothbrushes, and food for their little vacation. Alex called their neighbor to see if they could watch Maxine for the next few days. They said they would be at her house immediately. Alex answered the door, and the neighbors took the dog, guaranteeing she’ll be back when they get back.

“Babe, you ready to leave?”

“Yeah Alex. You got the keys?”

“Yep.”

“Let’s go.” Nica said.

The two got in the car and started driving.
