Chapter 2:
Landon helped Jamie into the car, secretly wishing that the honeymoon could've lasted longer. It was over, their first day of being married was over. It still felt special to be married to Jamie, but not as much as it did the day before. 'Don't think that way Landon' he told himself. 'Jamie is wonderful, and you're glad you're married to her'.
Landon got in the car, and turned the keys. The radio was playing his favorite music station. But he knew it wouldn't last that way for long. He could sense Jamie slowly inching her arm up to the dials. Sure enough, just seconds after the thought crossed his mind, the radio changed to a soft, Christian music station. A few months ago he'd be upset, but he liked having Jamie around. Her influence on him was a good one, better than he thought it would be.
The next few minutes was full of Christian music, and silence. It was as if they weren't in the same vehicle. The two were lost in their own seperate worlds. Just thinking about the day before, and how magical it was.
"Close your eyes." Landon said, as they were approaching a beautiful street.
"mmmm." said Jamie, as she closed her eyes. With eyes still closed, she asked "why?"
"It's a surprise."
They drove a minute or so more in silence, and then Jamie could feel the car starting to slow down. Then it came to a stop. And she heard Landon say, "Keep your eyes closed." and the door slammed shut. He walked around, and helped her out. And led her up the path of a nice, old house. He opened the door, and made sure that they stood in the hallway all the way, before he told her she could open her eyes.
"Okay, you can open your eyes now!" He said with a big smile on his face.
Jamie opened her eyes, and turned around slowly in a circle, to take in the house. "It's beautiful Landon! Is it ours?"
"Of course it's ours! Want a tour?" Landon had managed to persuade his dad to give him his and Jamie's wedding present, so he could surprise Jamie with it and see her expression. His dad had agreed, and decided to take him to see it.
The house was made in the early 1900's, but had been checked on frequently to make sure it was still in good shape to live in. It looked like it had stayed in the same year, all of those years. There was a bunch of very old, and nice furniture and carpets, and accesories. Even a grandfather clock sitting in the living room. There wasn't a TV and there wasn't anything to put a TV into. He knew Jamie would love that. For some reason that he couldn't figure out, she thought TV was the worst idea in the world. There was a fridge, and all of the kitchen accessories that needed to be plugged in, and there was a phone outlet and a light in every room. It wasn't completely stuck way back then.
