MONDAY
The season was off to a sizzling start as Oasis Springs expected its first heat wave of the summer. Though it was scorching hot outside, Mondays were always reset days for Darla. She started off her day tending to her berry garden full of raspberries, blackberries and blueberries. After she finished her yard work, she relaxed on the patio by the pool with a cold glass of iced tea. Ahh, her own little oasis!

Inspired by her surroundings, she decided to put her creative juices to the test and create her first flavor of fizzy juice for her start-up, Fruit N' Fizz. This flavor was for her REFRESH line called "Sparkling Citrus" that featured a blend of freshly squeezed lemon, orange, and lime juices.

Later that afternoon, Wade came back from work with quite a surprise and a rather large ask. He brought home a puppy!
"Darrius said he found him near the docks in Brindleton Bay. He's been fostering him for the past couple of weeks, but he doesn't have the space to keep him with two babies on the way" Wade explained to Darla. "We've been wanting a dog anyway, right? Want to keep him?"
Darla agreed to keep the puppy. "So what's his name?" she inquired.
"Well he probably belonged to sailor in Brindleton Bay," Wade added, "so let's name him Captain!"

The Holdens were expecting company that evening. It was game night and the neighbors, Miguel and Elena Santos, were ready to bring it on! The group tried Darla's new fizzy juice flavor alongside Wade's famous char-grilled hamburger sliders for dinner. Naturally, they were both delicious and paired very well together! After their bellies were full and the heat started to subside, Wade and Darla challenged Miguel and Elena to a game of sabacc out on their balcony. The ambiance was quite delightful as the sun set with pop music playing in the background!

That one game turned into five games real quick — time flies when you're losing money!

As the night came to a close, Miguel and Elena offered their gratitude to their hosts and headed home to relieve their babysitter. After some quick cleaning, the couple retired to their bedroom, kissed one another goodnight, and fell asleep to the faint sound of wind and crickets.

TUESDAY
The next day, while Wade was at work, Darla started off her morning with some relaxing yoga by the pool. She kept getting splashed by Captain who kept jumping in and out of the water— what a little swimmer he is!

She spent the rest of the lightly cleaning the house and meal prepping some breakfast for the week. She made a huge batch of fruit salad which inspired her to try developing another fizzy juice flavor. She made a flavor for her VIBRANT line and called it "Cherry Sangria" which featured a blend of juices from freshly picked cherries, oranges and various berries.

After Wade got home, they invited Miguel and Elena out to dinner for a double date at Cactus Cuisine on Mirage Canyon Avenue. The Santos couple talked about their upcoming trip to Selvadorada which peaked the Holden's interests. The Holdens love to travel around the globe, and it's their goal to visit as many places as they can before the year is up. This made Darla want to go home and research some vacation spots.

After dinner and multiple drinks, the couples parted ways. To finish off date night, the two decided to watch 'Roaring Vice,' a romance movie about a budding romance that got cut short due to an outstanding arrest warrant.

Even though they both really enjoyed it, they both fell asleep before the end of the movie! They must have been exhausted.

Once they woke up, they decided to go up to bed and end the night with some alone time!
