“Anniversary?”

“Yep, six years in the past at present you flipped my world the other way up, and I’ve by no means been the identical.”

“Ah, thanks child however what time is it? It feels prefer it’s the nighttime,” I say on a yawn.

“It’s early, sugar, however I want you to rise up.”

“Jonathan, it’s Sunday. What’s mistaken with you?”

“We have now to get to the airport. Our flight leaves in a pair hours so rise up Sleeping Magnificence!” He says as he offers me slightly swat on the butt.

“Our flight? The place are we going? What about Eire?”

“Eire’s going to be staying together with your mother for a few days, and don’t fear about the place we’re going. Simply rise up.”

“What do you imply don’t fear about the place we’re going? How can I pack if I don’t even know the place we’re going? I didn’t even say goodbye to Eire when she went to mother’s final night time.”

He takes me by the hand and slowly pulls me as much as a sitting place.

“You may name her after we land, and I already packed a bag for you. Now get that high-quality ass of yours within the bathe earlier than I throw you in!”

I observe his orders and earlier than I do know it we’re boarding a airplane for San Diego. It’s a brief flight, and I spend most of it asleep on Jonathan’s shoulder. I’m exhausted however Jonathan appears to have sufficient vitality for the each of us. What’s with him?

The airplane lands and we accumulate our baggage. I did discover there’s quite a lot of baggage for a few days, however am too confused and drained to ask any questions. We head to the rental automotive take a look at the place Jonathan has rented us a jeep to drive, and it’s crimson. I really like jeeps, particularly crimson ones. None as a lot as Scarlett, however they’re a lot enjoyable! Jonathan doesn’t say a lot as he throws our baggage into the again seat, after which drives us off down the street.

I can inform we’re headed within the course of San Clemente, however I’m shocked after we pull as much as the San Onofre Seaside cottages. It hasn’t modified a bit, and when Jonathan opens my door and helps me out, he offers me slightly grin. However he nonetheless doesn’t say a phrase. Simply as I suspected he takes me by the hand and leads me to the identical little white cabin we stayed in final time. With every step nearer to our cottage, the recollections begin flooding my thoughts and my coronary heart begins racing.

As soon as we’re via the entrance door, all of it comes dashing again even sooner. There’s a brand new sofa and kitchen desk and chairs however for probably the most half it’s all the identical. The very first thing I do is exit to our little patio to take a look at the view. It’s nonetheless early and slightly cool, however the climate is gorgeous. As I flip round to move again inside, one thing catches my eye. On the desk, identical to earlier than, there’s a present ready there. There’s a sticky word on it that claims,

Diana helped me woo you final time, so I believed I’d preserve with custom.

Love you, Georgia

I’m so very confused as a result of final time we have been right here he purchased me a Diana Gabaldon e book. This package deal isn’t a e book. I set the sticky word apart and tear off the paper. Inside are the DVDs for Half 1 and Half 2 of the primary season of Outlander.

Jonathan seems within the doorway to the patio and says, “I figured it is perhaps good to observe it collectively so I can see what all this ‘Outlander’ craziness is about. I appreciated Downton Abbey, so I determine I’ll give Outlander a shot too. Apart from, I have to see why you, Cami and Alex say this Jamie guys is so freaking nice. You understand how aggressive I might be.”

I throw my arms round him and present him my gratitude the one means I understand how; with my lips as a result of I’m speechless.

He doesn’t let issues get too heated as a result of he has extra to indicate me I uncover, as he takes me by the hand and guides me to the kitchen. On the counters there are all of the components for s’mores and I see a Costco sized bag of fishies. He opens the fridge, and I see it’s absolutely stocked with contents that each one appear to look acquainted to me. Subsequent he opens the freezer, and I can’t assist however snicker after I see the carton of vanilla ice cream that claims Gracie on it, and the carton of chocolate that claims Georgia on it.

He walks up behind me, wraps his arms round me and presses his entrance to my again. I shut the freezer door and say, “You actually have considered every thing, haven’t you?”

“Nah, I simply need to make you cheerful. I’ve relived our first week collectively again and again, and I simply thought we might attempt to reside a little bit of it once more collectively. I do know we’re in a unique place now, however I believed it is perhaps enjoyable to carry us again to the place all of it started.”

“I believe it’s an important concept. Thanks a lot for the getaway. I’m excited for some alone time. Simply seeing that chocolate ice cream within the freezer makes me need to begin reliving a few of these recollections proper now,” I say making an attempt to show round in his arms to kiss him and see if we are able to begin our journey down reminiscence lane now.

However I’m denied.

“Nope. No can do. If we get began, I received’t have the ability to cease and I’ve plans for us. Why don’t you go within the toilet and alter into one thing which you could hike in. I’ll get a backpack prepared.”

“We’re going mountain climbing? Actually?”

“Sure, we’re going mountain climbing and also you’ll prefer it. Now get transferring, lady!”

He palms me my smallest bag, and I can’t assist however suppose it’s bizarre that he insists I am going into the lavatory to vary, and never the bed room. He’s as much as one thing, however to date so good, so I’m not going to query it an excessive amount of.

As soon as I’m prepared, he doesn’t waste any time getting us out the door and again into the jeep.
