With their decision to embark on a European adventure made, Max and Harper threw themselves into preparations with gusto. They spent evenings poring over travel guides, mapping out their route, and dreaming of the sights they would see and the experiences they would share.

"Do you think we should start in Paris or Rome?" Harper asked one evening, her eyes shining with excitement.

Max grinned, his heart fluttering with anticipation. "Why not both? We have all the time in the world."

Harper laughed, feeling a surge of joy at the thought of exploring the romantic streets of Paris hand in hand with Max. "You're right. Let's make the most of it."

As their departure date drew nearer, Max and Harper found themselves caught up in a whirlwind of activity—packing their bags, finalizing their itinerary, and saying goodbye to friends and family.

One evening, as they sat on Max's balcony, sipping wine and watching the sun set over the city skyline, Harper turned to Max with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"I can't believe we're actually leaving," she said, her voice tinged with emotion.

Max took her hand in his, his heart heavy with bittersweet anticipation. "It's a big step, but I know it's the right one. We're ready for this, Harper."

Harper smiled, her heart swelling with love for the man who had stolen her heart. "I know we are. And no matter where our journey takes us, as long as we're together, I know we'll be okay."

With those words, Max and Harper shared a tender embrace, their hearts filled with hope and excitement for the adventures that lay ahead. As the city lights twinkled in the distance, they knew that their European adventure was just the beginning of a lifetime of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.
