to say that dawn was excited about the beach was an understatement. her family being so large it was difficult for them to go on any sort of vacation such as the one the malnati was allowing her to go on now. her first order of business: collecting sea shells. she wanted to collect as many as she could so that she could arrange them into fun patterns for a project she was working on. the beach closest to their hotel was crawling with different kinds of shells varying in shape, size and color. dawn had asked ryder to assist her in finding all of her shells—well, maybe assisting wasn’t the best word. “i found another one ry!” she chirped as she dug a shell out of the sand. “thank you so much for helping me!” dawn placed the shell into one of the plastic buckets that ryder was toting around the beach for her as the girl bounced from shell to shell.

dawn had done something a little out of character that morning. she had been thinking of a change. she had thought about cutting her hair shorter than it already was, getting her nose pierced— but none of it was something she really wanted. one day while she was sitting in her room doodling she created a picture of a camera with a flower. after making some changes and adding some color she looked down and realized that she knew the change she wanted to make. she spontaneously, after making an appointment of course, went to the tattoo parlor and gotten her drawing tattooed on her back. it wasn’t too big but it showed her gorgeous drawing of a camera with a flower. the artist doing her tattoo asked her ‘why this one?’ and she knew there were a couple reasons behind it. one was her love for photography. the flower was one of her favorites to see in the garden, but the main reason—and the one she used to explain why she had gone with this one in particular was simple: ‘someone once told me I needed to step out from behind the camera.’ of course when she was finished ryder was the first person she wanted to see it in person. rushing to his apartment she found him sitting in his room at a desk. she propped her elbows on the table, her hands cradling her cheeks as she waited in anticipation for his attention. “guess what i did today?” @ryderxmms​

“thanks nico.” dawn waved as the boy walked out of his apartment. she had come by to see what ryder was up to. ever since their meeting the two seemed to always drop by the other’s suite when they wanted to hang out. she had texted him before arriving, but he never answered. as she walked closer to his room though she understand why. there was crashing from cymbals and banging from drums. ryder had told her he would play for her sometime, but they just never gotten around to it. poking her head slowly through the door to see the boy in his eliminate. he was so in the moment it was unlikely that he saw dawn slip through to watch. he was doing such a great job. to say dawn was impressed was an understatement. “wow.” she awed as ryder finally stopped and acknowledged her presence in his rom. “—I hope you don’t mind? nico let me in as he was leaving.”
