Amy woke up to the morning sun shining in on her face. Her memories of the night before came rushing back, bringing with them the happiness that she had felt. She allowed herself just a moment to lay and relax, remembering. She then made herself get up, and get ready to start the day. It was Saturday, which meant no training. No matter how dire the need for agents was, everyone agreed that much training every day, would do more damage than good. She got up and showered before changing into a simple long sleeve shirt and jeans.
It was Ian's morning to cook breakfast, which meant everyone was on time for once. Ian was actually an exceptional cook. He made chocolate chip pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, and hash browns, so they had something for everyone. Amy helped herself to some eggs, bacon, and hash browns, and grabbed a pancake for dessert. Ian sat next to her, and had the same.
After breakfast, everyone was free to do what they wanted, so Amy decided to head out to the gardens for a walk. When they had rebuilt the mansion, Fiske had wanted to plant a garden in Grace's honor. It was full of beautiful plants, many exotic, if they could survive in the Massachusetts weather. It covered about half an acre of the land around the mansion, and Amy loved walking through it on such a beautiful morning.
She was halfway through the garden before she heard someone else in there. Deciding she wanted to be left alone for a while, she moved in the opposite direction of the noise. It was a while later that she heard someone behind her. She felt arms slip around her waist.
"Ian, how did you find me?" She asked laughing.
"I followed you, of course." Ian smirked, already expecting her next question.
"But, I didn't even hear you!"
"Ah, you can't forget love, you are dating someone who has been trained in the art of the spy since he could walk."
Amy laughed, and took his hand before continuing in through the garden. She stopped to admire many of the flowers, giving Ian some idea's for a gift. They continued walking, until Ian was called back to the house for something. He left Amy with a quick peck on the cheek before hurrying back out of the garden. Amy wandered through the rest of the garden before heading back herself.
Back at the house everyone was taking advantage of the rest day. Sinead was working in her lab, which to her was relaxing, Dan was playing video games with Jonah, Hamilton was working in the weight room as always, and Ian was resting on the couch with a book. Amy decided she felt like a swim, so she went to her room to change before heading to the pool. She took her time getting in, and then just swam around at her own pace. It was nice to just be able to float on the water, without having to worry about how fast she was going, or how far. She jumped off the diving board a bit, and floated around, before getting out. She headed back to her room to shower and get ready for the rest of the day.
After lunch, it was time to get out of the house. Everyone had cabin fever, and would do anything just to be able to leave the grounds around the house. They all debated a bit, before deciding to head to the mall.
There was a movie theater, many different shops, and a food court, along with an arcade. Dan headed straight for the video games, as everyone expected. Hamilton and Jonah headed for the sporting goods store, and Sinead headed for the science supply store. Amy and Ian decided to head to the department store, to look around.
As they walked Amy pointed out things she liked, and when they got to the clothing, she sent Ian on ahead while she tried on a top she had spotted. Ian made his way to the center of the store, where the jewelry and perfume was located. He looked through all the cases, before seeing a beautiful necklace. It was a simple silver chain, with a diamond pendant hanging from it. Amy would love it.
After purchasing the necklace, he hid it in his pocket. He would give it to her on their next date. He met up with Amy and they exited the store, and met with everyone else. After stopping at the food court for dinner, everyone headed back to the mansion. They hung out in the family room for a while, watching TV and talking, before each of them slowly headed upstairs to bed.
