(A little shorter then last one sorry on a time crunch)

The next day, Hailee and Y/N woke up to a bright sun streaming through their bedroom window. The air felt fresh, promising a perfect day ahead.

"Good morning, sunshine," Hailee murmured, stretching and turning to face Y/N, who was still nestled under the covers.

Y/N smiled sleepily. "Good morning. I could get used to this."

Hailee chuckled, leaning in to plant a soft kiss on Y/N's lips. "Let's make today special. Just us."

Y/N's eyes sparkled with excitement. "What do you have in mind?"

After a quick breakfast of pancakes and fresh fruit, Hailee suggested, "How about we go to the botanical garden? I heard the flowers are in full bloom."

"Perfect! I've always wanted to see it in spring," Y/N replied, their enthusiasm infectious.

They packed a small picnic basket with sandwiches, snacks, and a couple of drinks before heading out. The drive was filled with music and laughter, each song sparking a memory or a silly dance move from the driver's seat.

When they arrived at the botanical garden, the vibrant colors of blooming flowers greeted them. Hailee grabbed Y/N's hand, leading them down the winding paths.

"Look at that one!" Y/N exclaimed, pointing to a patch of bright tulips. "They're gorgeous!"

"They remind me of you," Hailee said, smiling. "Bright and beautiful."

Y/N blushed, squeezing Hailee's hand. "You always know how to make me feel special."

As they wandered, they took turns capturing photos of each other among the flowers. Hailee twirled in a field of daisies, her laughter echoing through the garden. Y/N snapped a picture, grinning at how carefree she looked.

"Okay, your turn," Y/N said, stepping back to frame Hailee perfectly.

"Alright, but you have to strike a pose!" Hailee teased, and Y/N dramatically posed, throwing their arms wide open as if embracing the entire garden.

"Perfect!" Hailee laughed, taking a series of shots. "You look like a nature superhero."

After exploring the garden for a while, they found a secluded spot under a large oak tree, perfect for their picnic. They spread out the blanket and unpacked their lunch, sharing bites of their sandwiches and enjoying each other's company.

"This is so nice," Y/N said, leaning back against the tree trunk. "I love days like this."

"Me too," Hailee replied, watching the leaves dance in the gentle breeze. "It's nice to escape for a bit."

As they ate, they talked about their dreams for the future—travel destinations, adventures they wanted to experience together, and the little moments they cherished.

"Do you remember that trip we took to the coast?" Y/N asked, their eyes lighting up with the memory. "The way we got lost and ended up at that tiny beach?"

Hailee laughed, nodding. "And the ice cream shop that had every flavor imaginable! I still think about that sea salt caramel."

"Let's go back someday," Y/N suggested. "It could be our little tradition."

"Absolutely," Hailee agreed, her heart warming at the thought of building traditions together.

After they finished eating, they lay back on the blanket, gazing up at the sky. "Look at those clouds," Y/N said, pointing. "That one looks like a bunny!"
