Life had been a whirlwind lately—work deadlines, endless errands, and the constant hum of responsibilities pulling them in every direction. But now, as Olivia and Liam drove up the winding mountain road, the world seemed to fade away, leaving only the promise of peace and each other. The cabin they had rented was tucked away in a quiet corner of the forest, a hidden gem where time moved slower and the air felt lighter.
When they finally arrived, Olivia stepped out of the car and took a deep breath, the crisp mountain air filling her lungs. The scent of pine and earth surrounded her, and she felt an immediate sense of calm. “This place is perfect,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper as if speaking too loudly might break the spell.
Liam came up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist and resting his chin on her shoulder. “It’s even better now that we’re here,” he murmured, his breath warm against her ear.
