The Dock

She hadn’t known about the trip until he whisked her away. The cabin, with walls of windows, had stunning views. Mountains rose behind a small lake as if protecting the water from outsiders. She appreciated the privacy and anticipated their first swim. After he showed her the view of the dock, she kicked off her heels to explore its stark beauty. The surreal setting didn’t take long to become their favorite. They baked under the hot sun, cooling their flesh in the peaceful water, enjoying their time together. When it was time to leave, he had one more surprise for her.
