The sun beamed down on me as I knelt in the dirt. I was trying to navigate the tomato plants, plucking the ripe red fruits to be placed in the basket beside me, while also trying to avoid the prickly cucumber plants which were trying to overtake the entire garden.

I paused to take a breath, leaning back to glance up at the sky. The sun was all alone in a sea of blue, not a cloud in sight. I leaned back on my ankles as I reached up to pull my hat up so I could swipe away the sweat which gathered on my forehead.

I couldn't help but pause to look around at the land which surrounded me.

Ikaris had built this cottage for us in the middle of this enchanting forest. I truly felt as if I lived in my own magical world out here, with a charming prince to go along with it.

The cottage sat in the middle of a large round clearing of the forest, with plenty of green grass which almost screamed for children to run all over, tumbling around and giggles that could be heard for miles.

We'd been married for three years. I couldn't help myself. Everywhere I looked, I imagined how that scene would differ with a miniature version of Ikaris fluttering about- and him alongside them no doubt aiding in causing trouble.

I sighed to myself. Our life felt so perfect here on our own. I was too nervous Ikaris wanted to remain just us two alone, and would reject the idea of any additions.

I shook my head to rid myself of those thoughts. As I went to grab for the cucumbers again to pull them away from the tomatos, I was interrupted by a voice behind me.

"Getting all sweaty and dirty without me, Love?" I heard my husband speak behind me.

I couldn't help the smirk which appeared on my face in response to his cheekiness.

"Well you could make yourself useful and get down here and help me, get dirty alongside me" I replied, finishing my sentence looking up at him with a wink.

Ikaris stood there, I could tell he was peering down at me even though his eyes were hidden behind a pair of dark shades. He wore a white wife-beater and light brown cargo shorts, and in his hand he held a mason jar mug filled with ice water.

"I think I will reserve just being the refreshments caddie for you, Love. Does that work for you?" he asked, now pulling down his shades just enough so I could see him staring with that gleam in his eye.

"Yes, I think that will work just fine for me" I said, not being able to resist ogling my husband who just looked so angelic standing in the path of the sun. The subtle sheen to his skin along his biceps just screamed for me to take my tongue along it.

Before my thoughts could progress to anything dirtier than that, Ikaris was squatting down next to me and I was handed the glass. Now quite wet from the condensation due to the contrast in temperature.

"Here you go darling, don't want ya getting dehydrated and passing out now do we?"

"I suppose a trip all the way to town for heatstroke would not be an enjoyable way to spend the afternoon would it?"

"I'm actually more concerned with you passing out and squishing the tomatoes. You know those are my favouri-whOa" he was cut off by me attempting to push him over into the dirt.
