Harold and Irene laughed at his joke, while they wandered into a bookstore in Vermont.

They had left the swan lake after spending some time and now they were just walking when they sighted the bookstore.

It really struck her how the people are so friendly.

The salespeople were plea-sant and anxious to help them.

They left the bookstore two hours later and Harold led her to a h0tel.

“We’re going to have lunch in a h0tel room because..” Harold was saying.

“Because you don’t like eating with your sunshades on and if you should put it off in a restaurant, you’ll be figured out and it’ll be all over the news in a second” Irene completed his words for him with a smile.

“Thanks for un-derstanding” Harold laughed.

They got to the h0tel, booked a room and ordered lunch.

They checked in to their room, it was a beautiful little room with a fireplace and flowered chintz.

There was a large be-d with white be-dspre-ad and a single chair and table.

A round mirror was facing a dressing chair.

The room looks tidy and small with a pretty nice smell too.

Irene sighed as she la-id on the be-d on her back.

Harold was seated on the couch, straightening out his long legs.

He re-moved his sunshade and sighed.

“Our outing has been enjoyable so far” Irene smiled, turning to face Harold.

“I’m glad you found it enjoyable, i just nee-ded to do something to make you st©p ignoring me” Harold said.

“Ohh” Irene said remorsefully as she pu-ll-ed off her boots.

“Im trying so h@rd not to soil your reputation” She added as she stretched out her legs too.

“You care about what the world will say than your own feelings?” Harold asked with a little frown and the knock on the door saved Irene from answering.

Harold who had completely forgotten he’s no longer on his sunshades went to answer the door.

“Ohh.. thank you” he said opening the door for the h0tel worker to bring in their lunch.

He heard her g@sp and then gazed at her.

“H.. arold Marshall?” The lady nearly screamed.

“Damn!” Irene exclaimed as she quic-kly climbe-d out of the be-d.

She got to the door and saw how helpless Harold looked.

Irene collected the lunch from the lady before she could pour it away out of excitement.

“Look, can you plea-se keep mute about this? I don’t want anyone knowing I’m here” Harold said and the lady nodded, smiling broadly.

Harold fetched some dollar bills from his pocket and handed it to her.

“Oh..my.. God!” The lady exclaimed as she took it.

“Thank you” She smiled.

“I don’t want anyone knowing I’m here plea-se” Harold said.

“I promise i won’t tell anyone” She said.

Irene could see she’s Anna from her name tag.

“Can i t©uçh you plea-se?” Anna asked Harold who nodded.

“Oh…my! Can i just die now” Anna said dramatically after tou-ching Harold.

Harold and Irene glanced at each other and laughed.

“I should go now, before the manager starts screaming”

“Ohh” Harold said,glad she’s leaving. His stomach is rumbling and he can’t wait to dig into his lunch.

“Yeah he’s a mad dog” Anna huffed.

“Uh…uh” Irene and Harold said in unison.

Anna waved at them happily before turning to walk away .

They sighed as they closed the door.

“Do you think she can keep her mouth shut about me being here?” Harold asked as they sat to eat their lunch.

“She looks like someone who stands by her words, i just hope her excitement won’t make her spill the beans” Irene said.

“Woah..this is a whole lot” Irene said, opening the varieties of meals.

“We’re gonna go sailing after lunch”

“Wow…can’t wait” Irene said eagerly.

“You up for it?” Harold asked.

“Of course” She smiled.

“I’m so enjoying this” Harold said,with a mouthful.

“Me too” Irene said.

The turkey wasn’t dry,the stuffing was perfect,there was cranberry jelly,an @ssortment of vegetables, mashed potatoes and pecan and apple pie for dessert with wh!pped cream.

They left the h0tel almost immediately they finished their lunch and was glad they didn’t come across Anna again.

The boatman was waiting at the lake, standing near a beautiful old wooden cl@ssic sailboat.

He bowed in greetings to Harold and Irene and they responded.

Irene looked excited and couldn’t wait to climb aboard.

The boatman took the tarps off and they all climbe-d aboard.

He showed them the cabin belowdecks if they got too cold.

“Woah!” Irene shouted excitedly as they pu-ll-ed away from the dock in the cold air.

They spent the next three hours sailing around the lake.

They were both ecstatic,they had fun and took pictures.

Irene wouldn’t st©p shouting in excitement and Harold laughed whenever she did so.

They were both sorry to end the great sail after three hours.

They thanked the boatman and Harold handed him a generous ti-p before they walked back to the car.

“I had so much fun, thank you” Irene grinned as Harold started driving back to the airport.

“Im glad you had fun” Harold smiled.

“Aren’t we going back to the airport?” Irene asked as Harold took a different turn.

“No, we’re going shopping!!” Harold said, stunning Irene once more.

“We don’t have to” Irene said.

“Well..we have to” Harold smiled.

“Ivory…”

“Nola is gonna take care of her” Harold win-ked .

“And you’re gonna offend me by not picking anything” Harold added and Irene sighed.

“They’ve got nice things here,trust me” He said.

They headed to the airport after shopping.

Irene had picked a great jacket with three pairs of shoes, not wanting to offend Harold.

Irene smiled as she checked the pictures they took while sailing.

They were on flight to San Francisco alre-ady and she and Harold was sitting side by side in his plane, sipping wine.

Harold looked like he’s engrossed in the magazine he was holding,but he had been stealing glances at Irene all along.

He enjoys watching her smile.

“Ivory’s birthday is tomorrow” Irene said, facing Harold. Her cheeks grew h0t when she caught him staring at her.

“Yeah” Harold said.

“And she really wants Allysia to be there” Irene said.

“I won’t be surprised if Allysia and my mum appears tomorrow”

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

“Ohh” Irene smiled, hoping Ivory will like the purple dress she had sewn for her. Her mum wanted her to give ivory a white sweater too and Damien had bought purple shoes for her.

Damien won’t be there to give her tomorrow cause he’ll be going to their new house once he’s back from school today so she’s gonna help him pres£nt his gift to ivory.

He might come around tomorrow though.

“I’m glad tomorrow is a Saturday, i want to take my princess to so many beautiful places,I’m gonna buy her lots of things and restock her wardrobe with new ballet dresses, I’ll transform her ballet room into a more advanced one and I’ll do everything she wants for her, tomorrow” Harold smiled.

Irene was t©uçhed de-eply by how much he loves his daughter.

The light in his eyes when he said those things was just so adorable.

The joy of being a parent…

It was dark when they returned to the house.

Irene was all smiles, she really enjoyed her day.

“Thank you, i really enjoyed my day” She said to Harold.

“I’m glad you did” Harold said and she surprisingly gave him a ti-ght hvg.

He hvgged her back, smiling.

She didn’t mind the workers standing around as she stood on her toes and pe-cked him on both cheeks.

Harold was stunned,he would never have thought Irene would k!sshim in front of his workers,she was always careful not to even call him by his name in front of his workers and now she had k!$$£d him!

It felt so good.

“Goodnight and thank you” She said shyly as she retreated to get room with her shopping bags.

Allysia and Mrs Marshall booked in to Harold’s h0tel, they wanted to surprise Ivory tomorrow,which was her birthday and they warned the manager not to say a word to Harold that they were here.

They went to be-d after eating dinner and Allysia sle-pt after talking to George,her b©yfri£nd.

Marlene stood at her be-droom window, looking down at the hillside in the pouring rain,she was watching her dog soaking w€t and digging excitedly in the mud.

She smiled as he wagged his tail and looked up at her,he returned to digging again.

His name was Bes, a name Marlene had given him the moment her father gave it to her, six years ago on her tenth birthday.

Bes was her only best friend and companion.

He keeps her company and prevents her from getting bored to death.

She led an isolated life and always had.

Marlene laughed as she watched Bes chased a rabbit that eluded him and swiftly disappeared.

He barked and splashed happily throu-gh the mud again, he was having a great time as Marlene was, watching him.

She laughed again, thinking no one would believe that this muddy brown dog was actually white.

A knock on her door made her turn.

“Come in” Marlene said, adjusting her tiara.

The door opened and a maid walked in.

“I’m sorry to interrupt you,your highness. Dinner is re-ady” The maid bowed.

“Okay Claire, I’ll be down in a minute” Marlene said.
