As a means to relax and get far away from the stressful day-to-day life you and Bucky live, you decide to spend the day at a winery.

The long car ride out to the countryside was pleasant. You drove fast on the empty roads—enjoying the freedom you had—holding hands, talking, and listening to music.

When you arrived, the surroundings had you in complete awe. The estate was stunning and stretched out as far as you could see. A large farmhouse rested comfortably on a hill, looking down over the vineyard.

A lovely woman came to introduce herself. She would be your private server for the wine tasting during your stay. She guided you to the house's terrace that overlooked the beautiful surroundings.

Bucky had, of course, made reservations for the best and most intimate table for you and him, a comfortable distance away from other couples and with the best view.

Once you'd found your seat and settled down, you couldn't help but admire how handsome your husband looked in his formal yet casual sweater. It was neither too tight nor too big—clinging to his frame just right. You sported a similar style of clothing as him. The material so soft and warm against your skin.

You talked for a bit as you held hands across the candle-lit table. His thumb brushed the back of your hand so lovingly. The electric tingle from his touch travelled up your arm and down your spine, making you shudder in the seat.

He had his head tilted slightly to the side and smiled as he listened to you talk. It was so good for you and him to converse about anything other than mob and crime talk. You and he needed to decompress from that world and just enjoy each other's company without any interference.

After a few minutes, the lady came back with two different trays in hand—a Charcuterie board with different cheeses, meats, fruits and crackers, and the other held the wine. On the bottom of each glass was a description of the tastes, aromas and whatnot. She explained more in detail what each point on the card meant before she left.

You lifted the first glass from the row, as did Bucky. You held your glasses up and clinked them together.

"Cheers, honey," you sweetly smiled at him.

"Cheers, my love."

You brought the glass to your face, swirled the content inside, smelled the aroma and then drank the dark liquid. Bucky did the same.

"It's... good." Bucky smacked his lips together.

"Yeah, it's delicious." You nodded.

Like this, you would go back and forth between the wines, having a snack from the Charcuterie board between every round. In all honesty, you and Bucky weren't really wine drinkers, so you couldn't taste that much of a difference between them, but it was still fun and good altogether.

Towards the end of your stay at the Winery, you decided to take a stroll around the grounds before heading home.

Bucky kept you close to his warm body as you walked around the vineyard for a while, just taking in the last few moments alone together before you had to get home to your reality.

A yawn escaped you, and your eyes became heavy with sleep. Bucky noticed and brought you closer to him, guiding you back to the car.

"Come here, honey." He kissed your temple as you nuzzled further into his side as you walked back. "I've got you, baby. Let's get you home."
