'There's only one person on this planet that can find a place like this and that person would be Ashton' Luke grinned, looking at the little cabin in front of us.
It looked abandoned and you could hear it creaking before you could even see it.
There was a little plate above the door that read "Ava".
I felt lucky that it was only 4pm, meaning the sun was still shining brightly.
'Isn't it supposed to be locked or something?' Luke frowned.
We walked to the front door and Luke easily opened it. 'Apparently not' he mumbled as we walked inside.
It was a very small, one story cabin. On the left side, there was one couch, a coffee table and on the wall opposite from the couch was an outline of where there used to be a TV.
The kitchen existed out of nothing more than two cabinets, a mini-refrigerator that someone had tried to pull out, and a small stove.
There was a circular table on the side with two chairs placed under it.
On top of the table was a paper table cloth, dozens of candles, a lighter and our last envelope.
I took the envelope in my hands and opened it.

So, you must be thinking: this is the creepiest cabin I've ever been inside of.
And that's exactly why we send you here.
You see, if it's quiet, you'll notice that the entire cabin is creaking and it sounds as if it's falling apart.
You might even hear tripling feet from the rats that now own the cabin and enjoy living inside of the roof.
We know for a fact, that neither of you like creepy things so you'll do whatever it takes to drown out the noises (which means, you'll be talking and that's exactly what we want you to do)
Now for the rest, since this really is an abandoned cabin and there's no light, we bought about 50 candles to spread across the room to make it a little less creepy, and the table cloth because the table looks as if there's a lot of things...growing on it.(and obviously you don't want to eat from that.)
We've been told there's a homeless guy walking around somewhere that sometimes sleeps on the couch but he's a very nice man and if you tell him you're trying to save your relationship, he'll probably leave and come back later.
Despite the fact that there's no light, the stove is still working (just hold the lighter near the burner and it'll work) so for the next and final step, you need to prepare your food, decorate the cabin with the candles, talk to each other and enjoy the time you have left together because soon you'll have to come back to the hotel and won't be alone anymore.
P.s. If the weird vegetable and whatever other food you bought, don't taste good together and makes you want to throw up, there's a domino's near you and I suggest you just buy yourself a pizza)

'Okay, so technically, they do actually want us to be afraid to make sure we talk' Luke grinned, recalling the conversation we had while hailing a cab.
I nodded, looking up as the roof started creaking.
Luke and I looked at each other shortly before he dropped the letter back on the table and pulled his phone out of his pocket.
'Let's put on some music, light all of these candles, and at least make an effort to try and make the chicken taste good' Luke said.
'Let's do that' I nodded, grabbing the lighter and a candle and lighting it before placing it on the barely existent kitchen counter.
I lit up the next candle and handed it to Luke as his phone started playing some All time low song. I couldn't remember what it was called but I did know that whenever Luke put on some music, he always started off with this song and let his phone do the rest.
Luke walked to the coffee table and placed the candle on there.
We continued this routine until all 50 candles had been placed around the house and it looked a little less scary then it did before.
Despite the fact that it was still light outside, inside the cabin, it was as dark as if it was already 11pm.
We didn't really talk much throughout the process of lightning up the creepy cabin but we liked it better this way.
We knew we'd be talking both during and after dinner.
'Hey Luke?' I said, as I was looking through the cabinets. 'I think we should order a pizza'
'Why?' Luke asked, looking up from the backpack he was unpacking.
'Because we can't cook if we don't have any pans,' I grinned. 'There is one pan but it's all rusty and there's something black inside that might or might not be a dead animal, so I don't really want to take it out'
Luke grimaced and shook his head. 'You want the usual?' he asked, taking his phone from the table and dialling the number of the domino's that the guys had left at the bottom of the letter.
'Yes please' I nodded, turning around to the monstera deliciousa.
Maybe we couldn't eat the chicken, but we could always try and see if we could eat the fruit after we had finished our pizza's.
