"So how long did it take you to learn how to hike, let alone walk with the C-leg?"

We've been walking along a pretty simple trail leading up to one of the nicest spots in the area, and talking, asking questions about one another.

"A while. It's pretty high-tech and has the latest bells and whistles but it still took some time to become adjusted. This one's only a year old, and its response to every nuance of movement is quite awesome, which is why I've been able to do all this stuff," I huff, looking over my shoulder to make sure she's doing okay.

"Doin' alright back there?" I tease.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Show off. You know, it is my first time doing this. You could at least pretend like you're winded," she side-eyes me, adjusting the baseball cap she'd put on before heading on the trail, but her tone's playful.

"Aw, I'm sorry, my little novice. Here, I'll slow down my pace just for you," I coo, earning me a little friendly shove. It's all in fun.

"But seriously, we're only about a mile from what I want to show you, and we can set up a little picnic there."

"What's this place you keep going on an on about?"

"Ah, you'll see," I sing as I take her hand again and guide her along.

A few minutes later I stop her mid stride and tell her to close her eyes.

She narrow them at me instead. It's pretty cute, especially since she also crinkles her nose when she does it.

"Remember, you told me you trusted me," I remind her and she rolls her eyes.

Also damn cute.

"Okay, fine. But if I fall on my butt..."

"I'll make sure to grab it..." she shoves me again. "I mean you... I'll make sure to grab you before you meet the ground," I reply cheekily. She huffs before finally closing her eyes.

"Good girl. Okay, hold on to me and I'll guide you. It's only about ten more paces."

She's not kidding. The girl stumbles several times, seemingly on flat surfaces.

I move behind her, holding her waist with one hand, and holding her hand with the other, whispering in her ear. I know I don't have to, but I love her body's reaction to it every single time.

"Alright. We're here. You can open your eyes now," I announce, and wait.

I see her slowly open them and take in her surroundings.

"Wow," she breathes. "This. This is..."

"What?" I prompt.

"Beautiful. I've never seen anything like this. I didn't even know we had anything like this here," she babbles, her eyes roaming the scenery.

I'd discovered this place a couple months back, but the flowers hadn't bloomed the way they are now.

"C'mon. Let's eat." I kiss her on the cheek and lead her to the perfect spot.
