RJ got them a lake cottage, one of Mirror Lake Inn's signature suites, which was located directly on the lake. The interior boasted of rustic decors and ambience, and a style that featured birch barks, twig and cedar columns. It had a four poster canopy bed, a stone fireplace, plush cushion couches and a whirlpool bath.
The suite also had a private balcony outside, and a deck that allowed them to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of Mirror Lake, and Dei couldn't help but be in awe at how majestic it all looked.
"Babe, this is so beautiful," she said as she stepped out into the balcony. She closed her eyes and savored the peaceful ambience, listening to the gentle sound of the water lapping as ducks slowly float by. She didn't even need the spa to get the relaxation she needed anymore. If she was being completely honest, after the two months of sleepless nights and stressful days she had, taking care of Athena, being in their suite in the Mirror Lake at that moment was already close to being in heaven.
"You love it?" RJ asked, hugging her from behind.
"So much. Thank you, RJ... this is just what I needed," she said, turning around and facing him. She touched his face with both hands and kissed him softly on the lips. "I love you babe."
"I love you too," he said with a smile. "Let's go have our early dinner?"
"Sure," she answered.
"It's quite a bummer actually," he said as he pulled her to the door, "I initially wanted to arrange a floating dinner tonight, on the other side of the lake that had a view of the peaks - that was what we were supposed to have on our anniversary. Unfortunately, when I called on Monday to make reservations, I was told that that area had already been closed for the weekend. Apparently there's an important photoshoot going on in there starting this afternoon."
"A photoshoot?" she asked.
"Yep. I didn't bother to get any details anymore but yea, they're not providing guests the option to have floating dinners at this time, so we have no choice but to dine at their restaurant with the other visitors. But don't worry, it's an award winning restaurant so I can assure you that the food they serve is superb."
