Sanem's life was finally on the path she wanted.

After a year of so many events, all the schemes of Aylin and Fabbri were discovered and after paying everything they took out of the company their names were never heard. The company had been rebuilt and now Sanem was creative director. There was so much work and crazy customers who wanted to campaign with them, that the bankhup nightmare was distant. Her inspiration was back and she continued to write her novel.

And there was Can.

Their relationship was the best part. After so many lies and broken hearts they were in a better place now. It was a surprise to the company to know about their relationship - Sanem really doesn't know how they didn't suspect before - Cey Cey was traumatized and now he knocks cautiously on the door before entering the office. - She felt bad for her friend but Can was more beautiful than normal that day so she didn't regret anything.

It was great but Sanem misses something.

Vacation.

"I can't believe it's been a year," said Sanem as she rested her head against the seat back.

Can turned his head to face her as he stopped for a red light. "I know the company has been so busy these months, so many campaigns and meetings, new clients ...."

"And somehow ... we still can't go on vacation together."

"And whose fault would it be then?" Can said with irony as he looked in the rearview mirror before turning left.

"Hey!"

"Sanem, I love you, but we both know you're the only one who has a hard time disconnecting from your job."

"There is so much to do Can! "

"I know," he said softly, gently pressing his hand to her thigh.

"And neither is it my fault if you like to distract me while working"

Can let out a funny sigh. "We traumatized Cey Cey huh? I don't blame him, it was a beautiful scene"

Sanem laughed as she watched the sunset fall across the landscape. They were going to spend the weekend camping in the woods well known to them. Sanem remembers very well when she entered the woods alone, looking for Can when he wanted to leave and she asked him to stay. She remembers the night they slept under the stars. Even with fear of some animal appearing in the middle of the night, she couldn't have felt safer with him by her side.

It was not a vacation yet but Sanem could already feel her mind relaxing. Can promised that he would take care of everything and so he did. Sanem couldn't help but notice that Can looked very anxious. All week he received calls from strangers that she knew were not customers, Sanem realized that he didn't touch his stones any more and sometimes she would catch him looking at her intensely, as now.

"Are you okay? "She asked.

"Of course, better than ever," Can replied kissing her hand.

After 5 minutes they reached the destination. They picked up their things and walked toward the center of the forest.

"Are you hungry Sanem?"

"Hunger? I'm starving! I haven't eaten since we left!

Can laugh. "Well, I hope the food is good then"

Sanem opened her mouth to ask but was caught in the throat.

There were lights in front of her.

Many lights hanging from tree branches and some on the floor that surround a table and two chairs. There was a large tent next to them decorated with little lights that Sanem was sure would fit all her family inside. It was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen.
