Constance sets her chop sticks down and smiles happily at nothing, showing that she's done eating.

"Ready to go?" I ask, grinning at her.

"Mhm, but go where?" She questions, her doe eyes sliding to mine.

"You'll just have to wait and see, sweetie," I laugh. Standing from my seat, I stretch and watch Constance do the same.

"Are you guys ready to pay?" Asks the girl at register.

"Absolutely," I answer, handing her my card.

She quickly runs in through and taps the screen. Smiling, she hands it back. "Have a good evening, sir!"

"Let's go, sweetie," I lead Constance to the double doors and she pauses outside the door, taking a deep breath.

"I can't wait," she giggles happily.

"Oh? But you might have to," I tease.

A pout forms on her lips and she looks up at me sadly.

"I'm just kidding, beautiful. It's only a block or two away," I smile and pat her head softly. She giggles and nuzzles my hand, then grabs a bit of my shirt and follows me.

"Can I know where we're going, please?" She asks sweetly.

"Hmm, nope. It'll spoil the surprise," I grin.

She frowns slightly but her eyes light up and it disappears in a blink.

"I can guess, though, right?" She questions.

"Of course, you can!" I laugh.

"Is it an amusement park?"

"No, sweetie,"

"Hmm.. an arcade?"

"Nope,"

"A zoo?"

"Not even close, but it doesn't matter. We're here," I chuckle and pull her in front of me.

"Woahhh..." she mumbles, her eyes open wide in amazement.

"Do you like it?" I ask.

"I love it!" She giggles, her voice going a higher pitch.

Is she going into her headspace?

A small pond sits in front of us, a fence surrounding it and some a trees around it. White fairy lights hang from the trees, connecting them all together. Dogs run around playing with each other and some lay by the pond.

Constance giggles and runs forward, catching the attention of some of the dogs.

They step forward and start sniffing her and she laughs.

"Did you have fun?" I ask.

"Mhm," she grins.

We're walking home and she's looking at my hand carefully.

Looking at her through the corner of my eye, I watch her stick her tongue out slightly and think deeply.

Shrugging and smiling, she reaches out and grabs my left hand. Though she can only grip three fingers in her tiny hands.

"We're almost at the hotel, and it's nearly time for bed, sweetie," I inform her.

"Nuh uh," She pouts.

"We'll talk about it when we get there," I chuckle.

We continue walking down the dimly lit street.
