The first week of their honeymoon was spent seeing the sights of London. They went on the cliché double decker bus tour where they saw the Tower of London, St. Paul's Cathedral, the London Eye and the Marble Arch. For meals, they tried several different places. Currently, in their second week in London, Alice and Hatter were traveling on the tube again to see Buckingham Palace. A man across from them rolled his eyes with complaints about their snogging, causing Alice to blush.

Arriving at the palace, Alice and Hatter took it all in. Alice had brought her camera with her, as she did with most places they visited. A kind woman passing by stopped and asked if they'd like her to take a photo for them. Handing the woman her camera, Alice wrapped her arms around Hatter for the picture. They thanked the woman after she handed back the camera.

Exploring London with Hatter made Alice feel like she was in one of those cheesy rom-com montages, but she loved it nonetheless. She and Hatter were walking through the park, hand in hand, both wrapped in scarves.

"What are you grinning about," Alice asked with a laugh.

"I was just wondering if you'd like to go on the London Eye. We didn't do it on the tour but I figured it was worth a shot now," Hatter told her. Being scared of heights, Alice didn't regret not going on it when they had the tour but some part of her wanted to do this with Hatter. Noticing Alice's silence from thinking, he spoke softly, "Hey, I wouldn't let you do it if I didn't think you'd be okay." Alice smiled, remembering the last time he said those words to her.

"I'd love to," Alice stated quietly.

Arriving at the London Eye, Hatter already had the tickets bought ahead of time, making Alice realize he had this planned all along. They had a private capsule just for the two of them. A small table held a bottle of champagne and a box of truffles. Alice couldn't help but give him a loving expression; her Hatter the romantic, she thought. He poured her a glass as they were moving higher above the city. It was evening and the lights were all aglow.

Hatter took Alice's hand and slowly walked her over to the glass. She was a bit shaky at first but Hatter put her at ease, wrapping his arms around her from behind.

"It's okay, love, I've got you," he comforted her. She leaned into him, taking in the gorgeous view of the city. He used his hand to swipe her hair over her left shoulder and kissed her gently on the side of her neck, causing Alice to close her eyes for a moment. She could feel his warm breath against her skin.

"I love you, Alice," Hatter whispered in her ear, sending chills down her spine though he kept her warm. She turned to face him, putting a hand on the back of his neck and brought her lips to his. Hatter held on to her, pulling himself closer. His lips were soft against hers and the intensity caused both of their hearts to race. Alice tilted her head to deepen the kiss, small sounds of pleasure escaping both of them. With their lips parting, Alice felt as if she were floating and set her glass down. Hatter held his hand out to her.

"Dance with me," he offered with a dimpled smile.

"There's no music," Alice laughed, taking his hand. Apparently, it was no problem because Hatter sang to her softly as they moved slowly across the floor. He picked her up, twirling her around, causing Alice to giggle. The wheel slowed to a stop, ending their evening above the city.

On the last full day of their honeymoon, the hotel they were staying at was holding an event appropriately titled Mad Hatter's Afternoon Tea. Alice and Hatter, of course, decided to attend laughing at the inside joke together. The menus were hidden inside vintage books and their napkins were wrapped with riddles.

"Why is a raven like a writing desk," Hatter read from the napkin.

"Because it can produce a few notes, though they are very flat; and it is never put with the wrong end in front," Alice stated verbatim. She laughed at the impressed look Hatter gave her. "My personal favorite answer is that Poe wrote on both."

"It seems my beautiful little oyster has an affinity for riddles," Hatter mused playfully.

They drank their tea and swapped riddles back and forth; laughing at some of the sillier ones they came up with.

The next morning, they boarded their flight back to New York. They talked and joked around for half the flight until Alice fell asleep against his shoulder.
