Driving together to their destination had proven both more awkward, and at the same time more lovely than she had anticipated. She did wonder if he had done this before, taken women somewhere after the passing of his wife. She wasn't sure if she wanted an answer to her musings though. The idea of other women made her unaccountably self conscious about her decision, and about the possibility of a future with him, was she only a temporary diversion? She didn't think so, he wasn't the type. On the flip side, the idea of her being the only one, drove home how special this trip of theirs was. Was he as nervous as she was? He seemed calm, but the chatter seemed almost a bit forced. Sure it seemed to flow easily and he was a born narrator as he pointed out sights of interest and often even supplied the history behind some of the things they saw, but she felt he was a little nervous. And maybe that was a good thing, because if he had taken other women there, he wouldn't be.<br/><br/>When they finally arrived at a scenic view, the sight took her breath away. The were approaching the lake from a hill top, mountain? and he pulled over into a small scenic view point, away from the winding road through the forest. Below them was a large lake with lots of inlets and even a few small islands with a few trees on them. The water was a dark blue which sparkled in the sunlights, and to the left of the lake was a most picturesque little town which abutted the lake. There were boats of many sized moored by long docks, and she could see tiny people and cars moving around. White sails and colorful flags moved in the wind becoming them on. She hoped they would go sailing, it was something she had never done before.<br/><br/>"Oh Anton," she said, as she carefully stepped closer to the guard rail to get a better view, "this is absolutely magical!" She reached quite unselfconsciously for his hand as she soaked in the view, feeling the sun on her face, and a slight breeze in her hair.<br/><br/>"Now I can't wait to see the cabin!" said  Stella and turned towards him.  "I hope it is nice and private!"
