Adam woke up the next morning feeling like he was on top of the world. He told her he loved her and she said it back. They had spent the night making love. He looked over at Shelby as she laid there sleeping peacefully. He gently kissed her and quietly got out of bed. He ordered them some room service and headed to the bathroom.

Shelby woke up and moved to cuddle Adam only to find the bed empty. She heard commotion in the bathroom and smiled when the door opened. "Good morning."

He smiled. "Good Morning. How'd you sleep?" He asked as he walked back over to the bed. She bit her lip.

"Once I finally got to sleep, I slept fine."

He smiled and kissed her. "How about some breakfast?"

"That sounds good. I'm starving." She said as her phone went off. "Okay, Whitney has horrible timing." Adam laughed as she picked up. "Hey, sis, what's up?"

"I just wanted to know how your night was."

"Wonderful."

"I want details now."

"Later."

"Did I interrupt?"

"Yes, you do."

Whitney laughed. "Alright. Call me later and give me details. So, go back doing what you were doing and be safe."

"Whit." Shelby said.

"I'm just saying. Take precautions. Have fun and call me." Whitney said before hanging up. "They had sex! They had sex! They had sex!"

John came out of the bathroom at the sound of his wife's voice. "Baby, what are you screaming about?"

"Adam and Shelby had sex." She said looking at her husband.

"And that has you excited?" He laughed.

"Well yeah. It's a stepping stone to something spectacular."

"Spectacular?"

"Yes. Shelby just doesn't sleep with anyone. She loves Adam and he loves her. Now they can get married, have babies and we can all go out together."

"You wanna name their kids while you're at it?"

"Well I have some ideas but I better save those for us." She smiled. She looked at him. "I know I'm getting ahead of myself. But I want Shelby happy and Adam is great. They are a great couple."

He walked over to her. "Baby, you need to relax and let it all happen in its own time. They have taken a big step in their relationship. Now, you just need to let it play out."

"I know. So what's for breakfast?"

"Pancakes and sausage links."

"Yum." She said sitting down. He laughed and sat down across from her.

He took the plate in his hand. "I'll give you this if you promise to not push and let things play out?"

"Alright. I promise."

"Are you saying that to just get the food?"

"Not completely."

"Alright. That's all I can ask for." She smiled.

Shelby smiled as she sat there across from Adam eating breakfast. "So, what did Whitney have to say?" Adam asked her.

"Oh, she was her usual happy self." Shelby laughed.

"I bet she has us married and with kids right?"

"Probably so." Shelby smiled. "So, what's the plan for today?"

"I get to spend the whole day with you."

"Really?" She said excitedly.

"Yep. So what do you want to do?"

"Show me around Canada. I want to see everything."

"I don't think I could show you everything in one day but we can go see some sights and spend the day together."

"Sounds perfect." She got up and kissed him. "I'm going to take a shower and get dressed."

He smiled as she walked away. He hoped this day was perfect. He wanted to show her everything about his home country. He smiled when she peered out of the bathroom. "You know, we could probably get ready a lot faster if you joined me."

He smiled again and followed her into the shower. Once they had showered and were dressed, they headed out to see the sights. They decided to have a quick, light breakfast at a bistro. Adam took her hand and held it as they walked around the town. He smiled when he saw an ice skating rink.

"Do you skate?" He asked her.

"A little." She replied.

"Well, then let's see what you got." He pulled her over to the ice rink and they rented some skates. He stood up and held out his hand for her. "Well, let's go."

She smiled and took his hand. "You're not going to let me fall are you?" She asked.

"I promise to catch you." He said. "I will always catch you." He smiled and helped her out onto the ice. "So, how much skating did you do as a kid?"

"Not too much. I mean, Whitney and I grew up in Texas. So we were more riding horses and swimming as to ice skating. But there was a great indoor ice rink not that far from our house. My mom use to take us every Christmas."

"You'll do fine." He smiled as they slowly started their way around the ice. "See you're doing great."

"I guess I am." She smiled as they increased their speed a little bit. "I'm really good." She said.

"Yes, you are." Adam said just as he felt someone pull his arm and before he knew it, they were both on the ice on their backs. He started laughing. "Maybe we need a little more practice."

"Maybe." She said laughing too.

"Let's get up from here and take a hot chocolate break and then we will try it again." He got up first and held out his hand to help her up. She took it and smiled.

"Thank you." They headed to the concession stand and got two cups of hot chocolate and took a seat and watched the other skaters.

"You having a good time?" He asked. She looked up at him and smiled.

"The best."

"I'm glad. And I'm very glad that you came to visit me. This has been the best few days."

"Yes it has." She smiled. "I hate to see it end but I have to get back to work."

"I'll miss you but I'll be back in a week or two." He said causing her to smile.

"Great. When you get back, we can plan another date."

He smiled and kissed her. "I would love that. Now, do you want to try ice skating again?"

She smiled and nodded. He threw their cups away and took her hand. He gently helped her back on the ice. He couldn't explain how amazing he felt and how comforting it was to know that she felt the same way about him.

They finished skating and looked around the town some. It was great to spend the day together. Adam held Shelby's hand the entire time. After sightseeing, they headed back to the hotel for a nice, romantic dinner in the hotel restaurant. He wanted her last night with him to be special. He had brought her something special when they had gone into the antique shop. She had wanted to pick something up for Whitney, who loved antiques.

"You did all this for me?"

"Of course." He smiled. "I wanted your last night here to be special. I have a wonderful evening planned."

"It's amazing." She smiled as she looked around the private room he had rented out. It was decorated with candles and rose petals everywhere and soft music playing in the background. She smiled when he pulled out her chair. "You're such a gentleman."

"You deserve it." He smiled as he sat down across from her. "I hope you like the food."

"It looks delicious." He poured them some wine and then held up his glass.

"I would like to toast to us." He said. "May this be the first of many vacations together."

She smiled as they clinked their glasses together. It had been the perfect vacation and she loved spending time with him. She hated to leave but she had to get back. The rest of the dinner was perfect and afterwards, they sat in front of the fireplace in each other's arms. Just enjoying the time together.
