"A Weekend of Surprises"

Part 2

As Regulus and James finished their shower, they both felt refreshed and ready to take on the day. They got dressed and headed downstairs to the kitchen, where James had already prepared a delicious breakfast spread. Regulus's eyes widened as he took in the sight of pancakes, scrambled eggs, and fresh fruit laid out before him. "Wow, you really know how to start the day off right," Regulus said, giving James a playful smile. James chuckled and handed Regulus a plate. "I figured we could fuel up before our big adventure," he said, his eyes sparkling with excitement. Regulus's curiosity was piqued. "What exactly do you have planned for us today?" he asked, taking a bite of his pancake. James just smiled and leaned in close. "All will be revealed in due time," he whispered, sending a shiver down Regulus's spine. As they finished their breakfast, Regulus couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. He had a feeling that James had something special planned for him, and he couldn't wait to find out what it was. After breakfast, they loaded up their car and set off towards the countryside. The drive was scenic, with rolling hills and picturesque villages whizzing by outside their windows. Regulus felt his stress melting away as he gazed out at the peaceful landscape. As they drove, James told Regulus more about their destination. "I've rented a little cottage on the outskirts of a village," he said. "It's supposed to be surrounded by beautiful gardens and walking trails. I thought we could spend the day exploring and just enjoying each other's company." Regulus's heart swelled with love and appreciation for James. He was always coming up with thoughtful and romantic gestures, and this trip was shaping up to be no exception. As they turned off the main road and onto a smaller lane, Regulus caught sight of a charming little cottage in the distance. It was surrounded by a lush garden, with flowers blooming and birds singing in the trees. Regulus felt a sense of wonder and excitement as he gazed out at the picturesque scene. "Wow, this is beautiful," he breathed, turning to James with a smile. James grinned back at him, his eyes shining with happiness. "I'm glad you like it," he said, pulling into the driveway. "I think we're going to have a wonderful time here."
