She was ready to conquer New York at least that was what she was telling herself as she looked in the mirror. Rainbow effects in her hair no doubt from messing around with Hunter and his stupid, childish magic. She carefully ran her hands through it but the pattern of the H's burned. "Okay, okay," she said as she was trying to just foucs but her heart was still literally broken, however her medicine was helping until she could get back to the island. She brushed through her hair one last time and then made her way out and knocked on the hotel door next to hers. "Madison, ready?" she said as she was going to do this. Detox her body and her mind off of Hunter and deal with it after. Madison Nottingham-Quinzell

They would start in the fringes of upper New York and Daphne would get some of the big city tour. Then she had another place in mind that they’d have a few more days away in the country but also near the coast. Right now she could show her round but the first evening would involve a proper dinner. “I’m ready for dinner. Do you want to dine in the hotel or try a local restaurant?” she posed. They did have a week to work with. Daphne "DJ" Carter-Quinzell

"I feel like if we eat in that would be wasting the night so if you are good with trying a local restaurant then that is what I would like to do. I am probably going to do the whole eat in thing with breakfast though since it takes me more than just a few minutes to get awake naturally." Madison Nottingham-Quinzell

So Daphne wanted to see some of the local area as well before the big apple tour. That could be arranged as she drove them to the restaurant in her hire car. Even out in the New York suburbs and pretty close to the upstate country you did get the best of both. This place wasn’t so fancy but it did the basics well. It was fancier than a diner and near a bit of forest on what you’d call a back road. Normal people ate here which was good enough for her. She’d eaten here as a teenager when her parents were upstate with her brother which was how she knew about the town they’d end up in once they had the main city tour. It also helped having a quiet spring break here right down to a cabin in the woods near the sea shore, “You’ll like this place. Not too fancy but it does do good food well” she replied as they pulled in and walked to the restaurant. Some time here had to do Daphne some good and help her mental state, Daphne "DJ" Carter-Quinzell

Being away was good because it did not allow you to get caught up in everything else, you truly had time to breathe and give a real attempt at what it meant to do the right thing no matter how hard it was. She turned and smiled. "I don't think there has ever been much that I have wanted that is fancy so it sounds like it will be good." Still her life now, crazy even to her and she did miss her daughter but she knew she was doing the right thing at least she hoped. "I'm okay," she said. "I mean I'm not perfect by any means and my life is crazier now than when we first met at the orphanage but over all I am okay." Madison Nottingham-Quinzell

A lot had happened to Daphne in a short time. After they’d met at the orphanage she’d figured she’d do something normal like getting a job and figuring life out. Off course this island wasn’t normal and the strange and weird was the norm. Something the US troops stationed here would soon find out firsthand. So with this task in front of her she could at least enjoy this time. “That’s life all over Daphne. Marrying Mallory was a shock to me the way it worked out but we were planning that for later in life. Make the most of this week and stay on longer if you want to. You might even find some artistic creativity on this break” she replied as they entered and were shown to a table. Daphne "DJ" Carter-Quinzell

She nodded. "I am slowly getting used to it. I mean it's always exciting for the most part," plus she did like being a mother but the father of her child could politely go to hell something she kept to herself. "Perhaps," she said. She did have a small itch for creativity it seemed to be going though she did wonder a few things. "So is there where you tell me to either take my daughter and run or take my daughter and try to find a way to not cut her father out of her life, I mean it could go either way."

Daphne did state the two options she had. One sounded easier than the other but she’d be on the run for a long time knowing Hunter. At least the way she figured it. So that left option two. The result when a couple divorced but it looked the most likely option. “I’m not a subtle person but I am getting better at dealing with life’s difficulties. I think the second option is the best but it will still take a lot of work. Your daughter still needs to at least know who her father is. So if Hunter can stop being a spoiled fuck up he could help you raise her. I just can’t see you being a normal couple but arrangements can be put in place to co-parent. Otherwise it’ll eventually end up in court” Madison mused. “I will always be there to help you out and while I’m his aunt he knows I say things like they are”. Daphne "DJ" Carter-Quinzell

It was not a funny situation by any means but she found if she just slightly laughed about it then it made her feel better though that was not hard to do either. "One day at a time," she kept telling herself. "Honestly I do not think that we will ever get on that page. If my mind wanted it my body sure does not. I have started having these hard shakes just thinking about it because my anxiety is through the roof so best I distance myself from him." Did it hurt, yes. "Okay time to do what is best for me and our." She trailed off. At one time she did believe in love but now she hated it not for others but for herself that much she was one hundred percent of. "I was stupid enough to think it would work but not now." She took a minute to turn her fingertips inside of her palms and sighed. "I think I just need to art it out, draw something or something like that and eventually get help from that but time to enjoy New York." Madison Nottingham-Quinzell

It looked like Daphne was going to at least try and figure out option two judging by her words. They could now consider the menu to select what they wanted to eat as Madison replied “it sounds like you need time but perhaps art will help. We can always add a trip to a gallery while here and you might get some ideas. I need to bring Mallory something back as well but she’s hard to buy for”. That was a fact but she’d think of something.

"I think so yeah," it was not that she needed much time but she knew she had to be careful. She carefully looked over her menu and then spoke. "I am going with avacado with eggs and probably pizza which I know is a terrible combination but I feel it would do good or do good for me anyhow," she said. "Hm," she said. "She seems nice but not very materialistic, but you know her so anything that you get will be good I am sure." Madison Nottingham-Quinzell

Tonight Madison would be trying something she missed. “I think spaghetti and meatballs would work quite well. We came to New York before and the last time was picking out my wedding dress. She went for the tuxedo but she does know my family. I can’t figure out how to tell my parents about time travelling children and future great grand children. Perhaps it’s best if they don’t know yet. They were nervous about me going to college on an island of oddities in the first place but understand that now”. If her own family could understand then surely more people here could. A slightly different species was trying to find a way to exist with Homo sapiens and the future was very uncertain.

She had not even thought about that but she was now. Great grandkids she blinked at that thought and then took her mind out of thinking about it as her hands began to itch but she did not scratch at them. "I think it is better if they do not know and not because they do not deserve to know because they do but it can be a lot and well maybe a tree with cuts in it would be better when the time comes." She did not know however. "Pasta is always such a mood," she said as she finally looked at her hands and put them together and watched them seem to attract to one another and she let out a grunt. "Okay if this is a detox I need to be honest right?" She was trying to think of how to say it. "Can I just break his hand and it be okay?" she said as she pulled her hands apart. "I also think there is some kind of magic spell or magic layer over me, I lose my mind thinking about it, but if it is I should be able to break it." Hopeful she was at least though not very practical. Madison Nottingham-Quinzell

Daphne seemed to agree with her. She wasn’t sure how mangled the family tree would look right now but she just had to hope for the best and things would unfold normally someday. “It was hard enough explaining the harem to my parents. So this would sound impossible. Let them see the simple picture as little ones walk and talk” she replied adding “curly pasta and meatballs was comfort food for me. I guess I’ve gotten used to a lot of fish living on a Caribbean island”. Mommas cooking rocked after all. Bring honest was the point of this time away from magic of Ashford Isle and Hunter. So Madison listened carefully as they waited for the waitress to take their order. “You might be able to break the magic but it’s Taylor and Cami who knows more about it. If Hunter deserves pain he should get it. I did tell him actions had consequences”. That was true all the time and it just didn’t apply to individuals. Daphne "DJ" Carter-Quinzell

"The fish is good. I mean exceptionally good because I did not even eat that much fish before I got to the island and now I normally try to eat it three times a week." It was better for her in that way and she was glad for that. "Cami?" she said trying to hide her disdain but she was sure she did not. "I'm sorry I know that's your friend."
