The next few weeks passed smoother than Damon expected. Training was still part of his routine, but most of the days were spent exploring the city with his family. Singapore turned out to be the perfect place for a short break before the intensity of fight week.
Ava took full control of the schedule.
Every morning, she woke up pointing at a new place on the hotel pamphlets or signs she saw downstairs.
"Daddy, I want to go there."
"Daddy, what is that shiny building?"
"Daddy, take me to the place with the big trees and the lights."
Damon and Svetlana followed along, and the driver adjusted without complaint.
Ava also took longer naps than usual. The excitement seemed to drain her faster, and every afternoon she would crash on Damon's shoulder or Svetlana's lap, knocked out like someone had pressed a switch. When she woke up, it was with the same burst of energy she always had.
"Where we going now?" she would ask the moment her eyes opened.
