Really? Donât break out into song, now.
Iâm very happy for you, Val. I should take you two out to dinner sometime when youâre back in the area and see if some of that joy is contagious.
No shame at all. Â My heart has been singing for months.
Thank you, V, and I plan to take you up on that offer, once I know what Daraâs schedule is like.
thesanlo:
Not everyone has such simple humor. You wouldnât have to fly 20 something hours to the zoo, but Iâd like to see Australia too,given the chance, so I canât fault you too much. I heard Christmas went well. Congrats. Nothing to worry about after all.
The 20+ hour flight absolutely was worth Dara being able to hold her favorite animal on the planet. Â So I have a predilection for over the top grand romantic gestures..sue me. Â Australia was incredible, and if you get the opportunity to go visit, you absolutely must. Â And yes, Christmas went better than expected...Mr. and Mrs. Klein essentially...gave me their blessing. Â Call me old fashioned, but that felt like a major accomplishment. Â
I trust your holiday went well too, Santana?
thegoldstar:
Sounds like youâve been having the best of times. Have you managed to take in any of the cityâs cultural offerings? The STC is wonderful.
Rachel, it has been nothing short of a dream.
Weâd went to see La Boheme at the opera house just the other night, and it was as breathtaking as Iâd imagined. Â Honestly, one of the most magical nights of my life. Â We unfortunately did not get to see a show at the STC, but on your recommendation, perhaps another trip to Sydney is necessary.
morales-law:
You see I was always taught early in the week. And it doesnât get much earlier than Monday morning. It just needed to be done.
Itâs good to be seen. Itâs been a while since Iâve seen you in person. We should change that one of these days. Howâve you been? I did speak with your Dara briefly. I was complimented in the first interaction, so Iâm already a fan. I donât think Iâm looking for a partner so much as a distraction and some stress relief, but hopefully I am successful in that.
V, I havenât been so happy in life since the birth of my children.
livandletlive:
Gâday, mates! Love Oz, so much to see itâs unreal! Hope you loved the koalas and everything else. I assume youâre in Sydney? If youâd fancy a visit to a wonderful sanctuary after your koala adventure, I know my mates at Peanuts would love to host and give you both a tour! No koalas, Iâm afraid, but plenty of farm critters to love on.
Olivia, this could not be a more perfect addition to our agenda. Â Dara is going to be unbelievably excited; thank you so much!
Any further recommendations? Â Weâve got a few days left before itâs back to reality.

Thatâs nice, Iâm sure Dara agrees on that. Wow, gifts? Oh yeah, letâs have dinner someday soon then! My treat!
Oh, I definitely understand.Â
Once weâre home and reacclimated, itâs a date, Mr. Cruz.
thesanlo:
I have so many vagina jokes. But Iâll suppress them for now, because I have this mental image of Dara in a kangaroo onesie and itâs hilarious. Why Australia? Business or pleasure? Both?
Thank you for holding that in. Â As for why Australia; Dara had never seen a koala before--so I thought, where better to see one than Australia?

Iâm positive. My heart is in there somewhere. I allowed him have a worry free weekend instead of firing him on the spot. I thought it was a semi kind gesture.
Firing midweek is Management 101, but then again, I do not work in law.
Itâs good to see you on here, V. Â And I see youâve also met my partner, Dara--whom Iâve met on this site. Â Needless to say, I am a very satisfied 6D customer.
Hopefully itâll bring you the same success.

dkleined:
[As the two of them approach the boardwalk railing, Dara slides her sunglasses up on her head, glancing across the water. This place was far too beautiful for words. There was something about having a beautiful woman treat her to this beautiful place that Dara couldnât put into words.]
I will happily go to the opera with you⊠especially when it means so much to you. I canât imagine a little Valentina doing anything less than looking through old books. No wonder you love old bitters bottles.Â
[She giggles softly, leaning in and pecking Valâs lips.]
Is there anyone else youâd rather share the opera with?Â
[Valentina chews on the question for a moment, the answer both painful, and obvious. Eyes softening, she locks her gaze with Daraâs.]
...my father.
Coincidentally, he is the one who gave me my first bitters bottle.
[A wry chuckle, as her heart aches in her chest at the thought. Â Her resolve was normally stronger than steel, but there were rare instances, such as this, where there was just a glimpse of vulnerability. Â She wouldnât dare allow it sour this moment sheâs sharing with Dara now. Â Swallowing her emotion, she deposits it as a kiss against the supple skin of Daraâs sun-kissed neck. Â The pain vanishes at the very moment of contact. Â Dara keeps her grounded.]
Do you think Delia would like Australia?
[An attempt at some levity.]
F2F * VALARA
dkleined:
[Dara is always pleased with the electricity that still runs through her veins at Valentinaâs kisses. The two had an undeniable chemistry since day one and Dara couldnât tell you why. Why the universe chose them, but she was damn glad it did.]Â
A new record? I am so very happy I could contribute.Â
[A giggle left the blondeâs lips as she grabbed her bag and sunglasses, slipping them on as she led the older woman to the front door.]
Letâs go, letâs go! Do you think weâll see a kangaroo again?
Only one way to find out! Â Lead the way, baby.
[Valentina allows Dara to tug her into the hallway, down through the lobby and the main doors, where the blinding summer sun awaits them over the Sydney harbor. Â Off in the distance sits the iconic Sydney Opera house, and Valentina leads the pair toward the boardwalk railing, taking a moment to drink in the view. Â As Daraâs lithe fingers curl over the painted metal, the CEO wraps an arm around the modelâs waist.]
I know it might not be quite as cool as hanging out with kangaroos, koalas and quokkas, but Iâve gotten us orchestra tickets to La Boheme on Monday...
[A wistful sigh escapes Valâs lips, and her grip instinctively tightens.]
Seeing an opera here has always been on my bucket list. Â Since I was a little girl poking through the antique Encyclopedia Britannica my father kept in his office, and Iâd encountered the photos of that incredible building. Â
[A pause, as Valentine looks into Daraâs eyes.] Â Â
Being able to share that with you? Â Makes it even better.
morales-law:
Iâm not completely heartless, Valentina. He can have his weekend, but his pink slip will be on his desk bright and early Monday morning.Â
Are you sure about that? Â Firing on a Monday? Â Oof. Â V, you might just be a tougher boss than I.
starringjosephcruz:
Wow, you girls definitely know how to have fun. Iâm so jealous! Have a great time with Dara and enjoy very much these vacations. Have a good trip!
And I want to see all the pictures when you come back!
I am very lucky to have found a partner that enjoys jetsetting as much as I do; thank you, 6D! Â And thank you for the well wishes, Joe! Â Expect a lot of gifts when we return.
Youâll get to see...most of the pictures. Â Some will be for my eyes only. Â Iâm sure you understand ;)
dkleined:
I AM SO EXCITED TO MEET THE KOALAS THAT I DONT THINK I CAN HANDLE IT.Â
Ahem. I mean, Iâm sure this trip will be as delightful as expected. Vegemite was gross and I demand that we never eat it again. Mostly because so salty. My kangaroo hops are a private matter, Val! How rude of you to blast them to everyone on 6D.Â
Hmm, I donât know...you donât sound all that excited to me... ;)
No problem whatsoever for the vacation moratorium on vegemite and pfft; I simply could not resist informing everyone of your adorable new habit, sweetheart. Â 6D is better off for knowing just how cute you are.
F2F * VALARA
[Dara looks in the mirror, putting on the last of her lipstick. She has to stop and pinch herself, not being able to believe that sheâs really in Australia with the love of her life. There are things she has kept from her though - Avi things, worries. Things that she wants to push way down, but doesnât know if she can.]
My love, are you ready to go?
[The blonde model walks from the bathroom to the bedroom in their hotel suite.]
I want to get this walk in before the jetlag sets in again. That and the exhaustion from how much fun we had last night.Â
[Dara walks over to Valentina, her hands splaying on the womanâs chest as she leans in for a kiss.]
[Valentina feels the breath leave her lungs as Daraâs lips press against hers.  Unbeknownst to the blonde, nearly 24 years ago to the day, Val had been on her honeymoon with Ezio--not in Australia, but in Mykonos.  And though it (only slightly) pains her to admit it, this trip with Dara has eclipsed it.  Within a day of arrival, already Valentina feels as giddy as she did when the words âI love you, Dara Kleinâ first left her lips.  She kisses a line down to the hollow of Daraâs exquisite throat.]
Mmm...last night was incredible...I think that might be a new record for me, dolcezza mia.
[Stepping away, her right hands seek the blondes, threading their fingers immediately. Â With her left she gestures toward their hotel room door.]
Shall we?
