#𝙿. 𝙱 ⸻ getting up early was not her forte, she hated it. and even pushed the limits of her alarms on her training days just for that extra time in bed. but that morning she'd gotten up earlier than him. slipping from the warm cocoon of their sheets, with a singular intention. she'd mentioned her appointment the night before, as well as that she needed to drop pumpkin and nanook off at her mothers, for their vet and groomers visits. but other than the part about the dogs, it had been an elaborate lie, that she managed to sell really well. given it was their anniversary she sure as shit wasn't attending any appointments. no instead she had to finalise the last little details of what she had planned. the game she had set up, and had mentioned in the note she left against the coffee machine. and she did just that. dropping the dog off and other smaller drop offs. before heading to her quick nail appointment and then to the grocery store to get the ingredients she needed. [ as apparently planning an elaborate meal had also been a thing during everything else. ] wiping off her hands, she smirks softly as she sees the text from her mom saying leon had just turned up, and knew she didn't have long left before he'd be home. which was fine as she was nearly done. her excitement increasing tenfold, with each moment.
melissa smiles softly, as she opens the door to see leon. the look of mischief upon the elder woman's face, an almost mirror of the one that normally decorated her daughters face. as she moves out the way to let the tattooed male into the house, just managing to dodge a charging and freshly groomed nanook and pumpkin, who had clearly heard their dad's voice. as the elder woman walks over the counter which was decorated with various school papers she was grading. as well as the final box, that went with her daughters little plan. a plan melissa knew she was translating. dark gaze lifting to look at the other. ❛ so she has you on a bit of a treasure hunt, huh .... ❜ to anyone else, that would seem like the strangest thing ever. but melissa knew to those two, it was normal. more than normal in reality. [ and why she often joked they were the same soul, in two different bodies. ] with an observant gaze: one her daughter had inherited, melissa cant stop the soft smile on her lips or the amusement in her gaze. it was hard to be anything but amused with these two. as she reaches over and pushes the box towards leon. ❛ she said m'not allowed to translate the other cards, till you've at least seen your first gift. and we both know she will call our asses out if we try and do it any other way !! ❜ laughter prominent, as she goes back to grading her papers, giving leon space to open his gift. one melissa herself had picked up for secrecy, and was the watch that matched the customised necklace payne had gotten him, for his birthday.
