I wasn't thrilled with the thought of all the unwanted interaction, but the more I thought about it, the more I couldn't help but to get a little excited about the holiday. It would do me some good taking time off grafting for once, since all I'd done for the past few years was study myself to death. Italy was full of beautiful places that I could go and explore, like the Amalfi Coast, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Maybe it could be a lot of fun, after all.

"You know what, Dad?"

I stood up on my feet, and suddenly, a massive grin spread across my face.

"I'd love to go!" I exclaimed.

His eyes lit up as I said these words.

"Fantastic, darling," he grinned. "I knew you wouldn't let me down."

"When are we going?" I asked curiously.

"Tomorrow night," Dad stated matter-of-factly. "I had to book the flights as soon as possible, due to the urgency of my business situation."

"I see," I squealed. "Tomorrow night... That's really short notice. I better get packing!"

Dad laughed.

"Let me know if you need any help, love," he replied. "I'll see you tomorrow when you're all packed and ready to leave."
