He hadn’t shown up for our storage room duties and so I figured head ditched us, but here he was – waiting.
We were going to go to the mall for a while before going back to your place… oh and can Emma come over again tonight? Daryl said you guys are busy… I feel like a child asking for permission but know that at this point, Vincent was in charge.
I had to respect that it was his space he was so openly willing to share with me.
He looks between us both, before nodding his head slowly when Dary approaches us.
THE drop you off at the mall but I can’t wait around, get in.” Vincent states, as I grin at Emma and we rush into the back of the car allowing Daryl to sit in the front seat.
Ichat with Emma about her Moms salon, growing excited about the different packages and things they offer, while Daryl and Vincent poem to discuss something a little more serious in a hushed tone.

We head into the dressing rooms to try on the stuff, counting down from three behind the curtains before doing the big reveal
Shrieking when seeing one another, we laugh and prance around happy that we both lonked the part now.
After beitling around in the dressing room for a few more minutes, Chima and I decide to purchase our new outfits.
We head to the checkout, pay for our selections, and then make no way towards her mom’s salon.
As we approach the salon, I can see through the glass windows that’s a bustling place, filled with customers chatting and stylists working their magic,
A cheerful woman with curly hair and a big smile is at the reception desk. She looks up as we enter, her eyes lighting up when she sces Emma.
Emma! And you must be the famous Sofin?!” she exclaims, coming sound the desk to greet us with open arms. “I’m Linda, Emma’s mom. It’s so nice to finally meet you, Sofia. Emma’s told me so much about you already we are ecstatic that she has been getting
more.” Linda beams, as I enjoy her warm tone.
“It’s nice to meet you too,” I reply, feeling instantly welcomed by her warm demeanor.
“So what do I owe the pleasure of my daughter visiting me at work today?” She looks to Emma with a smile.
“Mom, we want to get our hair done,” Emma explains. “And maybe our nails, too. Do you have any space for us? Emma looks around at the busy salon while her Mom waves her off.
Linda’s smile grows even wider. “Absolutely! For you two, I have just the thing. We’ve got a special package deal for hair and nails for seventy five dollars. Of course, I’ll do yours on the house Emma couldn’t dare to charge my own daughter – and I can give you the deal for fifty Sofia?” she adds with a wink
I glance at Emma, who’s already grinning, and I nod eagerly. “That sounds perfect!” i state.
“Great! Let’s get started,” Linda says, guiding us to a couple of empty chairs at the back. She hands me over to a stylist, who begins
discussing my preferences while Linda gets to work on Softa knowing already what she wanted.
Emma opts for a trim and some light highlights to freshen up her lock, while I decide to brighten up my dull blonde hair.
As the stylist starts working on me, I feel a sense of excitement building. It’s been a while since I’ve treated myself to something like this, and I can’t wait to see the results.
As our hair is being processed, we move to the nail station and get started there.
Meanwhile, Linda fits around the salon, chatting with customers and making sure everything rims smoothly. Every now and then, she stops by to check on us, her bubbly personality making the experience even more enjoyable.
The nail technicians help us pick out colors – Emma going for a red to match her outfit, while I choose a soft pink.
As they work on our nails, Enima and I chat and laugh, enjoying the pampering session together
rand passing the time smoothly.
I wiggle my fingers as soon as they are freshly done, enjoying their new shape and shine before Linda ushers us over to the sinks to have our hair washed and rinsed.

I feel like a new person,
“What do you think? Linda asks, coming up behind me and placing hand on my shoulder.
“I love it so much, thank you! I exclaim, fuming to thank my stylist before thanking her too
“You’re welcome, sweetie. We are so glad you like it,” she replies, her mile genuine and warm. You girls have fun now, and don’t he strangers – be sure to do this more often!”
Mom can I stay with Sofia again tonight? Emma asks as I move to pay at the counter; while her Mom nods and doesn’t think

“Of course, just text and let your Father know.” She smiles, as Emma hods and fishes out her phone.
As
we say our last goodbyes and leave the salon, I feel a newfound sense of confidence. Emma and I decide to take a few more taps around the mall, showing off our new looks and enjoying the rest of our day.
When it’s finally time to call Daryl, I can’t help but feel grateful for moments like
e these – moments that remind me of the good
things in life and the wonderful people I’m lucky to now know here in town.
I just hope it lasts…
