Honeymoon

"Goodbye, Mom!" Ronan called out.

"Love you, Dad!" Evanthine added.

"Have a safe honeymoon!" Camaeron wished us.

"See you again!" Leviada said, waving.

I kissed my babies goodbye.

Simon and I were about to leave, and I had no idea where in the world he was going to take me. I got into the car and waved goodbye to my parents, friends, and of course, my children.

This was the first time I was leaving them.

"Will they be okay?" I asked, feeling a twinge of worry.

"They will be. It's just one month," Simon reassured me.

He started the engine, and I blew a flying kiss to my babies. For one month, I wouldn't see them, and during that month, Simon's face would be the one I'd see every day.

"Maybe we need t---"

"Chill, Mrs. Montrearde. Mom will take good care of our kids, okay? For now, can we just enjoy our vacation? Don't you miss me?"

I rolled my eyes at him. He started driving while beautiful music played.

"This was one of our goals... traveling together." I smiled at him.

We both began singing along. The whole ride was never boring. Simon joined me in my playful antics. As I looked at him, my favorite song started playing.

"You know this one?"

"Of course."

Dancing on the hood in the middle of the woods
Of an old Mustang, where we sang
Songs with all our childhood friends
And it went like this, yeah
Oops I got ninety-nine problems singing bye, bye, bye
Hold up, if you wanna go and take a ride with me
Better hit me, baby, one more time
Paint a picture for you and me
Of the days when we were young
Singing at the top of both our lungs

I felt like a crazy person dancing around in the car. Simon kept singing along with me. This was truly one of my dreams—to go on a road trip with the man I love, singing our favorite songs together.

"On the day we fell in love!" we sang together.

We laughed and I gave him a kiss. This man deserved a kiss every single day. Just as I was about to kiss him again, he playfully poked my nose and pouted. We had reached our destination.

"Where are we going?"

"That's a secret. You can sleep if you want."

Without hesitation, I snuggled up to him. I needed to rest because I knew Simon would tire me out again.

I woke up to his gentle kiss. He was carrying me towards a speedboat. My skin prickled with a mix of excitement and fear. Old, painful memories started to resurface.

"N-No, I don't want to be on the sea! I fear--"

"Mrs. Montrearde... look at me, look straight into my eyes. I love you, love. I love you, calm down... I'm here... as long as I'm with you, you'll be safe. I love you." He kissed my forehead, reassuring me that everything would be fine.
