It's 8 in the morning and they lay in bed, listening to the birds sing.

H: Morning Lou

L: Morning babe

H: How did you sleep?

L: Good. You?.

H: Good too

L: I'm glad. It's so peaceful here

H: I know. So different than at home. I mean it's peaceful there too, but it's different here

L: I know what you mean. I have something planned for us later, but I can't tell you what it is

H: Oh, a surprise? I love surprises

L: You are going to love it babe

H: I'm sure I will. I love everything you do (kisses him softly)

L: I can't wait

They both shower and get dressed. They look up some local tourist attractions and figure out what they are going to do for the day. Harry's phone rings and it's Dana.

H: Hello

D: Hey honey, how's the trip going?

H: Its going good so far gram, it's only been a day. But it's so beautiful here. How's our puppy doing?

D: He's doing good, misses his daddies though

H: Aww, I'm sure. We miss him too.

D: You're not going to get elpoed there are you? I'm looking forward to a real wedding. (Joking)

H: No, no. We are definitely having a wedding, don't worry

D: Ok, good. Well I'll let you two get back, I'm sure you have a lot to do. We love you both and be safe

H: We love you too, bye

They write down a few places to check out. Their 1st stop is an old Italian village where they make handmade baskets and such. 2nd stop is an art museum, they both love art. 3rd stop is the Trevi Fountain. They explore for about 6 or so hours.

L: You ready for your surprise?

H: Oh yes, I'm so ready Lou

L: Ok, when we get close, you have to close your eyes though

H: Ok, ok. Ahh, I'm so excited. Are we going to get real Italian cookies? Going to see your family? I can't wait

L: You'll see babe

They drive for a half an hour or so. They are 5 minutes away and Louis tells Harry to close his eyes. Louis parks and opens Harry's door. He takes his hand and stands him up. He puts a blindfold on him and leads him to the special spot. Louis takes the locks out of his pocket and hands one to Harry.

H: What's this?

L: Take off the blindfold

H: A lock? Where are we?

L: We're at the lock bridge

H: Lock bridge?

L: Yeah. You take a lock and the person you love takes a lock. We lock them to the bridge and throw the key into the water. It means that from that day on, we are locked to each other. I love you Harry. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. You have my heart and I want to throw away the key, because it belongs to you and you only
