Chapter One (in the pov of Richard Castle)

"The plane will now begin to descend. We will be landing in Geneva, Switzerland in approximately 15 minutes. Thank you for flying with American Airlines." The voice rang loudly through the speakers.

Kate glanced at me and smiled. She reached for my hand and wrapped her fingers in mine.

This is our romantic getaway attempt number two. It wasn't a total bust last time. We got arrested and spent most of our time solving a homicide after a dead body kind of interrupted our skinny dipping. This time it was gonna be perfect. No interruptions, just a romantic weekend in the beautiful Swiss Alps.

Once the plane had landed and passed through security we stepped outside into the beautiful Geneva, Switzerland. It was gently snowing and the town square looked almost like something off of a postcard. It was perfect. Kate glanced at me and smiled.

"This weekend is going to be perfect.." she whispered before leaning in for a gentle kiss.

We caught a cab down to the resort. It was 8pm and we were both exhausted from the long plane ride. Kate rested her head on my shoulder and snuggled into me. By the end of the long cab ride Kate was almost asleep. We walked up to our resort. We had a small 3 room cabin with a bathroom, a kitchen and bedroom with a large bed and a warm fireplace. Nothing fancy.

"So, what do you think?" I asked Kate.

"It's perfect" she replied with a smile.

"So, do you wanna roast some marshmallows?" I asked as I pulled the large packet off marshmallows out of my pocket.

"How on earth did you get them through security at the airport?"

"Well, they were all too busy frisking you.."

We both laughed before taking a marshmallow out of the bag.

We sat by the fire, a stick in one hand roasting a marshmallow. Her free hand was wrapped around my waist and her head was pressed into me. We spent the rest of the night cuddling by the fire and sharing marshmallows. It was the perfect start to the perfect weekend..

NB. Hey everyone, I hope you liked the first chapter. I'm new at this and my grammar and punctuation isn't overly great! Any ideas for things you want to see happen in this chapter or constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for reading xx
