City Comes to the Country (Tyler Night and Whitelily)

Totally speechless as they walked into the hotel, Ele's mouth dropped open as she took in the beautiful building. It was huge, and almost completely original. Putting her arm around Tyler, Ele spied a glimpse of water through one of the windows,

"You can see the lake!"

She gasped, hurrying to the window. Outside was a huge porch that gave an uninterrupted view of the lake, as well as the beautiful landscape around the porch.

"It's like a fairytale! This could be a palace!"

"Then let's go!"

Pumping her legs to go faster, Ele pedaled along the road, following the signs to the hotel. It wasn't long, but Ele's muscles were unused to having to pedal again, so she was soon slowing down as they came to the front of the hotel. Panting slightly, Ele leaned over her bike handles,

"Remind me to pace myself! That was a workout!"

Taking her bike, Ele excitedly wheeled it closer to the street and climbed on. Today promised to be full of adventures and fun, plus, it was completely new to Ele who loved learning new things. Pushing off on her bike, Ele realized that she hadn't been on one in years, but as she gained speed her body took over and was soon smoothly sailing down the road.

"Okay, which site first?"

Ele called over to Tyler, glancing his way for a moment.

Packing up her fudge, Ele placed it back in the bag then stood up,

"Well then let's get going! We're burning daylight and there's a lot to do here!"

She said enthusiastically, tugging on Tyler's hand to get him to move quicker.

Breaking off a piece of the caramel, Ele handed that to Tyler before taking a bite of the bacon fudge. Nodding at the flavor, she smiled,

"That is good! But I'm totally about this caramel!"

She said, taking a piece and letting it melt in her mouth.

"So bike around the island to the sites, then take a carriage ride before going to dinner? Sound like a plan?"

City Comes to the Country (Tyler Night and Whitelily)

Putting her legs over Tyler's lap and pulling out her salted caramel, Ele nodded,

"Will the fudge be okay being swung on a bike handle?"

Ele moved backwards until when they got to the counter, reluctantly letting go of Tyler to take the bag of fudge from the woman while Tyler paid. Walking out to the sidewalk and out of the way of more people going into the store Ele paused,

"We can totally go to dinner at the jazz place! That sounds like it would be so fun! I like that we're making plans to stay here until later!"

Closing her eyes happily when Tyler kissed her forehead, Ele felt a bubble of happiness come over her, and she giggled when she opened her eyes,

"I finally banked enough brownie points and good karma to get a reward? Well, I think I won the best lottery in the world!"

The line moved behind Ele, who took a step backwards rather than letting go of Tyler. She was enjoying this outing as a couple, it was very different from their usual dates that typically involved cars or the resort.

"Well, let's get a salted caramel, a Mackinac, and the bacon fudge, that way we can have a good range of yumminess!"

Getting in line for the fudge, Ele smiled and turned to Tyler, wrapping her arms around his middle,

"What did I do to deserve such a fantastic boyfriend like you?"

She asked, smiling up at him.

Nodding, Ele turned her head to find the display case with the different types of fudge available.

"When we take a trip back to the city, I'll take you to Ghirardelli Square and the salt water taffy store. It's amazing."

Taking Tyler's hand, Ele went over to the case to pick out their fudge flavors.
