The past few days had been emotionally tiring for Joan, so Larry felt that it might be good to take her out for some rest and relaxation to get her mind off things.
While he was dealing with some work in the study, Joan crept into his workspace and approached him from behind.
In fact, Larry had already detected the sounds of the intruder when Joan came into the room, but he pretended to be oblivious to it and played along.
Just when Joan was inches away from him, he quickly turned around and grabbed her by the waist.
Joan let out a soft cry before falling into Larry's arms.
“How did you know I was here?” Joan asked in discontent.
“Dummy, I could smell your perfume.”
Larry smirked as he buried his head in her hair.
He was instantly filled with joy when he took in Joan's pretty face as though he just could not get enough of it.
“Joan,” Larry whispered her name.
“What is it?”
Joan was also enjoying the rare moment of bliss.
Larry had been taking care of recent events while she spent the past few days in anxiety, so they were both physically and mentally drained.
“Let's go somewhere for fun today. We haven't
really been anywhere as a couple yet.”
Larry felt guilty when he realized that he was always swamped with work and rarely spent time with Joan or went on trips with her.
“Do you mean it?”
Joan lifted her head from Larry's arms and exclaimed in joy.
She had always wanted to spend time with Larry in the great outdoors, admiring what nature had in store.
But since Larry was always busy, she could not bear to trouble him and ask him to take her sightseeing, so she never brought it up.
Nevertheless, Joan had a strong desire to travel, especially with her loved one.
She might have never mentioned it, but the idea had crossed her mind countless times.
“Of course I do."
