Amaya had never really thought of herself as much of a vacation kind of person; things like the school trips were nice and good for inspiration and new experiences, and she did like that aspect of it, but she always did get a little itchy and just wanted to get back to work in her shop, more often than not. But she was really starting to feel like this whole birthday holiday concept was something she could definitely get on board with.
Or maybe, just maybe, it had less to do with the company than it did the holiday itself.
Although, to be fair, the holiday itself had been pretty great, too. After their time in Rome, they headed north to Florence, which not only boasted all sorts of fascinating Renaissance-era science and history for Amaya to get far too wrapped up in, but also vineyard tours and wine-tasting and excellent food in the countryside. And then they headed even further north still until they landed here in Milan, where the fascination with contraptions could be switched out with fashion and Irene's turn to really be in her element. And later that evening, there would be a visit to some fancy theater for a fancy ballet, but for now? A little mid-day break in the Milan meanderings for lunch at a fancy restaurant that just so happened to have the promise of a big meat stick on its menu....
And trying not to think too much about how this whole journey was coming to an end, for...well, a whole bunch of reasons that Amaya was really not interested in examining too closely at all, if she could help it.
