Take a Hike

"Charlieeeeeee…. why did you think this is a good idea?" Lavender was forced to dodge a low tree branch as the older man in front of her glided happily through this strange forest, as if he belonged.

"Cheer up, love," Charlie called over his shoulder, "we're almost there!"

"Almost where?" Lavender wanted to know.

"You'll see."

Lavender jumped over a rock, hurrying to keep up with her boyfriend before he disappeared on her. "Go on a hike," she muttered to herself. "Will be fun," she added with sarcasm. She had barely been watching where she was going when she collided with the tall man in front of a clearing.

A gasp escaped her lips.

"You like?" Charlie asked with a grin.

"Charlie, where are we?"

"Oh, just somewhere I like to go." He gave a shrug.

"It's beautiful!" Lavender exclaimed. She threw her arms around his waist, burying her face into his chest.

Charlie smiled. "See," he said, "hiking isn't so bad."

Lavender groaned.
