POV HOPE

H – I hate it when you do that.

L – That what?

H – Surprises, you know I hate surprises.

L – We're almost there, I promise.

H – Where?

L – You will already know.

Loving Landon was really a challenge when he had ideas like this, blindfolding me and making me stay in the dark for almost half an hour while he drives me somewhere. I didn't know that route, that is, I had no idea where we were going. It was already night when we arrived, it was cold, typical of an autumn night.

L – Okay, here we are. - He said stopping the car.

Landon rushed to help me out of the car and guide me wherever I went.

H – Can I look now?! I asked impatiently.

L – No! Hope – he said standing in front of me – the idea is that you don't take off your blindfold tonight, understand? Then you can stop asking.

Even blindfolded, I made a point of expressing my displeasure with that. Why was I following his rules anyway? I don't know, it was Landon, I just liked to do something that made him happy. I just let him lead me to what I thought was a cabin.

H – Where are we? I asked when we entered the house.

L – At the Forbes cabin.

H – What?

L – Lizzie lent it to me when she bet me you couldn't make it through the whole date blindfolded.

H – Did you bet with her?

L – It was just to get the cottage, I swear! – he said quickly.

H – At least it's hot here.

L – I came early to get everything ready before picking you up.

H – All what?

L – Oh, yeah, I forgot I wasn't watching. - He said laughing embarrassed. - I'll describe it to you, all right?

H – Be detailed.

LANDON POV

Hope accepting my invitation had ensured that Lizzie would lose the bet and borrow her cottage, but now I needed to make that chance Hope had given me count. I knew how she hated surprises, convincing her to spend the entire night blindfolded without her wanting to hit me or leave would be my biggest challenge.

L – On your left is the sofa. In front of you is me, and behind me is the fireplace. Between us and her, our dinner literally at her feet.

H – What? – she said smiling.

L – Let's have a picnic at home. - He said helping her to sit up.

H – Can I take off the blindfold to eat?

L – Nice try, but it will stay on your pretty face all night, remember? - He said kissing her quickly.

H – What is the meaning of all this anyway?

L - I'll tell you at the end of the meeting, now open your mouth.

She opened it and I popped a little sushi into her mouth.

H – Japanese food? – she said in surprise.

L – I thought you would like it. I said a little tensely.

H – I love it, good choice. - She said smiling.

L – Just wait until we get to dessert. - I promised confidently.
