"Yes okay, thank you. So that's 5 nights starting Wednesday?"
"Okay we can check in by five right?"
"Okay thank you for your help."
"Yes!" Abby congratulated herself.
"I got John. five nights at the Plaza hotel in New York City."
Abby casually walked into the bedroom where John was laying in bed resting after being cooped up in the hospital for three days. He was used to being in the hospital but not in one of those beds. He had never actually realized how uncomfortable those beds really were. Maybe that was why patients always wanted to get up.
"John. I got the reservations."
".Oh, that's great Abby. Great."
"John, what's wrong?"
"Oh nothing I just figure something will go wrong again."
"Why, we'll be fine. What could go wrong? We're only going to be driving down the interstate in your trusty jeep. I mean come on, don't sweat it."
"You're right Abby; I guess I'm just a bit shook up."
John knew he should be happy. Abby was working so hard to make their honeymoon memorable. She had gone so far as to book five nights at the Plaza hotel in New York City. She had made plans for them to go site seeing and she even said she would drive. the whole way. John chuckled to himself. This would be fun. He didn't even have to go on a plane. He didn't know if he would ever want to. ever.
He could hear Abby doing something in the kitchen, he wasn't sure what though. Before he knew it he had drifted off into a heavy dreamless sleep. When he awoke Abby was standing over him.
"Good morning." She said cheerfully.
"Hi."
"Are you ready to go?"
"What," John stammered, "I haven't even packed!"
"Don't worry about that, I've already done it." She assured him.
"Let me get changed."
"Okay."
12 MINUTES LATER
"Is that everything?"
"I think so." John declared.
Abby slammed the trunk shut and hopped in the drivers' seat. John was already in. Abby was excited. Excited about trying again, excited about going to New York. She knew it would be a blast. They may not get to bask in the hot Cuban sunshine but there was always Broadway. Abby turned the ignition and back out of the driveway. She looked at John. He was smiling.
"Well, well, is that a smile I see?"
Abby's eyes widened. She looked at John. John looked at her. They hugged.
"Are you ready?" John asked.
"Definitely."
As Abby turned on to the road John wrapped his arm around her. In the bright morning sunshine they embarked on an adventure on solid ground.
