"Yeah, next time, we'll stay and play with you, promise," Mia added, offering a playful grin.

Ada huffed again but couldn't hide the small smile creeping onto her face. "You better! I swear, I'm the cutest daughter, and you both just run off to do your own thing."

Dinner was a warm and comfortable affair. The air was filled with laughter as they shared stories from the day, Ada occasionally shooting teasing comments at her moms for disappearing earlier. Despite her initial annoyance, she quickly slipped back into her usual cheerful self, happy to have their attention once again.

The dishes on the table were hearty and well-prepared, with a savory roast, steamed vegetables, and fresh bread filling the air with rich, comforting aromas. As they ate together, the bond between the little family felt as strong as ever, their earlier moments of passion seamlessly transitioning into the warmth of togetherness at the dinner table.

It was clear that no matter what happened, they would always come back to each other.

The next day, Ada was absorbed in her studies, diving deep into her lessons on technology with the help of a maid who had practically become her mentor. The maid, an expert in various fields, had taken a particular interest in Ada's curiosity and was more than happy to nurture her talents. As the young girl pored over her lessons, Mia and Lucy found themselves with an entire day to enjoy to themselves—a rare opportunity.

As they sat together in the morning, sipping tea in the garden, they began to brainstorm a list of possible date ideas for their unexpected free day.

As Lucy sipped her tea, she glanced over at Mia, who was already bubbling with excitement over their rare free day together. "So," Lucy began, her voice playful, "what are we thinking for today? We've got all the time in the world. Let's make it count."

Mia grinned, already leaning forward with an idea. "What about a picnic by the lake? We could pack up some food, maybe some of that wine we've been saving, and just relax by the water. We could even take a little rowboat out if you're feeling adventurous. I mean, can you imagine the view? It's so peaceful there, and the way the sun hits the lake in the afternoon... it's practically begging for us."

Lucy's eyes lit up at the thought. "That sounds lovely. It's been a while since we've had a quiet afternoon like that. We could just lie on the grass, eat, drink, and not worry about a single thing. Maybe even go for a swim if it gets too hot."

"Exactly!" Mia agreed, her excitement building. "And if we're not in the mood to swim, we could just laze around and watch the birds or take a nap under the trees." She paused, then added with a smirk, "And don't even get me started on how romantic a sunset by the lake would be."

Lucy laughed. "Alright, sold. But how about something else? What if we did a spa day? I mean, we've been through a lot lately—why not let someone pamper us for a change?"

Mia leaned back in her chair, her eyes narrowing thoughtfully. "A spa day… You're talking about massages, facials, and maybe a dip in the hot spring? God, that sounds like heaven." She stretched her arms out, imagining it already. "I could get lost in that kind of relaxation. Plus, a private spa means no one else but us."

Lucy nodded. "Exactly. Just us, soaking in the peace and quiet. We could even sneak in some champagne or chocolate, you know, really indulge ourselves." Her lips curled into a playful smile. "It's been way too long since we've done something just for ourselves like that."

Mia bit her lip in thought. "You're right. A spa day would be perfect, especially after everything. But…" Her eyes glinted mischievously. "What if we did something a little more active? Horseback riding, maybe? There are plenty of trails we haven't explored, and it'd be nice to get outside. We could ride through the countryside, feel the wind in our hair…"

Lucy raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Horseback riding? Now that's a change of pace. I haven't ridden in a while, but it does sound like fun. We could pack a small lunch and stop somewhere along the trail, maybe near that meadow we discovered last spring."

Mia nodded enthusiastically. "Exactly! It'd be like an adventure, but still intimate. Just you, me, and the open fields. Plus, we could explore parts of the countryside we haven't seen yet. Maybe even find some hidden gems along the way."

The conversation paused briefly as they took in the quiet morning air before Lucy spoke again, her tone thoughtful. "Or we could take a trip into the city. I've been meaning to check out that new market they opened. We could spend the day wandering the streets, finding little trinkets, and maybe catch a show at the theater in the evening."

Mia tilted her head, considering the idea. "A day in the city… That could be fun. We'd get to experience the hustle and bustle, find some treasures at the market, and end it with a romantic dinner. You know, our favorite restaurant is there. We could have a quiet, candlelit dinner with the best wine they've got. They always set the mood perfectly."

Lucy smiled softly. "That's true. The last time we went there, it was such a magical evening. The way the lights dimmed, the music playing softly in the background… It would be the perfect way to cap off a day of exploration."

Mia sighed happily. "Alright, add that to the list. But if we're feeling more like staying in, we could always have a movie marathon. Curl up with blankets and popcorn, just us, watching all our favorite films. It's been ages since we've had a lazy day like that."

Lucy chuckled. "You're not wrong. We could pick a few classics and just lose ourselves in them for the day. No stress, no interruptions—just the two of us, cozy and comfortable."

Mia smiled dreamily. "And if we get bored, we could always cook together. You know how much fun it is when we're in the kitchen, dancing around while making dinner. We could try a new recipe, something challenging, and see how it turns out."

Lucy laughed. "I can already see the mess we'd make. But you're right. Cooking together is always a good time. Plus, the reward is a delicious meal we made ourselves."

Mia leaned in closer. "But what if we wanted a bit more adventure? We could go for a hike to that hidden waterfall in the forest. It's been a while since we've been there, and the view is incredible. We could take a dip in the water, have a small picnic, and just enjoy being surrounded by nature."

Lucy's eyes sparkled at the idea. "I do love that waterfall. It's so secluded and peaceful. And the hike there is just challenging enough to make the reward at the end feel extra special."

Mia nodded, her excitement growing. "And if we're still feeling adventurous after that, we could explore the nearby ruins. We haven't been there in ages, and who knows what we might find this time? It'd be like stepping into a different world."

Lucy smiled, clearly taken with the idea. "A ruin exploration? That does sound exciting. We could discover something new together, maybe even a hidden treasure or a secret passageway."

Mia grinned. "Exactly. And then, to finish off the day, we could grab some blankets and go stargazing. Find a quiet spot away from the city lights, just the two of us under the stars. It would be the perfect end to an adventurous day."

Lucy leaned back, a content smile on her face. "Sounds like we have quite the list. Now the hard part—deciding which one to do first."

As they sat together, their list of date ideas growing longer and longer, Mia stretched lazily, looking over at Lucy with a playful smirk. "Alright," she said, a hint of mischief in her voice. "How about this: We go for something cozy today—movie marathon during the day and a romantic dinner at night? That way, we get the best of both worlds: lazy and indulgent in the morning, then something more special to end the night."

Lucy's eyes lit up as she thought about it. "A movie marathon sounds perfect. We can curl up on the couch, wrap ourselves in blankets, and just relax without a care in the world. Plus," she added with a teasing grin, "I get to choose the movies."

Mia chuckled, pretending to consider the idea. "Oh, you think so, huh? Alright, deal—I'll leave the movie selection to you. But," she added quickly, "I get to decide where we're going for dinner and what we're having. Fair?"

Lucy raised an eyebrow playfully. "Fair enough. I trust you to handle that, just as long as you don't pick somewhere too fancy."

Mia waved her hand dismissively, laughing softly. "Don't worry, I've got the perfect place in mind. Something romantic, intimate, but not over the top. You'll love it. And as for dinner, I'm thinking a mix of everything—something we both enjoy."

"Sounds like a plan." Lucy leaned back into the plush cushions of the couch, already imagining how the day would unfold. "So, for the movie marathon… I'm thinking we go with a mix of genres. Maybe start with a classic rom-com to set the mood, then dive into some of our favorite action films to keep things interesting. And, of course, we'll end it with something emotional and dramatic. You know, just to pull at the heartstrings before dinner."

Mia raised an eyebrow, impressed. "Rom-com, action, and drama? You're really going for a rollercoaster of emotions here. I like it."

Lucy winked. "What's the point of a movie marathon if you don't feel all the feelings?"

Mia laughed, shaking her head. "Alright, I'm all in. And while you're busy sorting out the movies, I'll make a reservation at that little Italian restaurant we both love. You know, the one with the candlelit tables and the incredible tiramisu? It's the perfect mix of cozy and romantic, just like us."

Lucy smiled warmly, her heart already swelling with excitement for the evening. "I love that place. And the way their wine perfectly complements every dish… Yeah, that sounds like the perfect ending to the day."
