carol had cancelled all of her meetings and classes that were later in the day. it wasn’t always that both her and hal were on earth at the same time and weren’t incredibly busy. their children were all grown which definitely made things easier but she also missed when they were all small and she could fit their hands in her palm. “ i got some flowers after my meeting -- do you know anything about that ? “ carol raised her eyebrows. “ -- and the others are in still in my car. “ she set the flowers on the counter. 

“ mornin’ , “ carol said softly. she was forever a morning person , even on weekends and the days when she didn’t have classes to teach or CEO meetings to attend. she couldn’t help it and she didn’t even need an alarm clock on most days. carol kissed the back of hal’s neck and then his cheek. she sneakily moved in between hal’s arms. , thinking him to still be fast asleep. carol wasn’t always the small spoon but this morning was one of those occasions. 

“you know it’s summer right.” her walk had a small bounce in each step as she walked over to her dad. “so why aren’t we going on vacation? we don’t even have to go anywhere on earth. we can just go to space or something. we can bring kyle, guy, adrianne and mags with us. it’ll be a cool lantern getaway.” honestly, she was getting quite bored with reading books. all of her friends seemed busy and a lot of her family was here anyways. might as well make the best of it.
