More Peaceful Days Ahead.

The next few days were more peace and quiet, for Leonica, than she could have bargained for.

There were no crazy spy watching her every move, no half sisters trying to kidnap her or ruin her life, no ex husband trying to win her over and the only thing she had to worry about was Ashley's condition. But even that had shown to have improved a bit during their last

visit.

It was all perfect.

"You're awfully chipper this morning," Owen noted as they both stood in front of the mirror, fixing their outfits.

As per to reward herself for how well she had done so far, Leonica had decided to go all out, planning a whole day's date with Owen.

"Why shouldn't I be." She responded happily, already in love with her own idea.

Getting to spend the entire day with Owen while Ashley hung out with Anastasia and regrettably, Lloyd.

She still wasn't sure what those two were doing together.

"My life's finally sailing smoothly and I'm even going on a date with my Fiancé, today." Leonica said as she finished up with Owen's scarf and pecked his lip. "Now tell me why I shouldn't be happy."

Owen chuckled. Well who was he to complain? He loved when Leonica was happy. Her happiness was his happiness.

"Alright, you're all set, shall we head out?" She said, earning a nod from him before he took her hand and led her out of the room, down the stairs and out the house.

Owen held the car door open for her, expecting her to get into the passenger seat, but much to his surprise, she plucked the car key straight out of his hands, flashing him a smile as she headed for the driver's seat. "I'm driving."

Owen thought of protesting, but seeing as she was the one who had picked all the date spots they were going to, he decided against it.

"Okay." He nodded and got into the passenger seat.

Once they were all settled, Leonica pulled out of the parking spot, a wide grin on her lips.

She had so many ideas, all which she was excited about, especially the first one, which would serve as a warm up before the main event.

The first place was a café, not just any café, but one of the best and most romantic in the country.

"Welcome." The waiter greeted them with a wide smile, eyeing the couple with an obvious glint of interest. "Please, follow me."

He gestured for them to follow him and they did. They were lead to a private table near the glass windows which Leonica had reserved.

The view was beautiful, a garden of roses in full bloom and the sight was even more amazing with the morning sun shining brightly. "Here's our menu," The waiter said after they had been seated.

"Actually, I called in advance to reserve an order." Leonica said and the waiter nodded, quickly noting the orders down before turning and walking off.

"I didn't know such a place like this existed in Oslo. How did you find it?" Owen asked and Leonica laughed, the sound sweet like honey.

"It was all Anastasia."

And she wasn't lying when she said that. The day before, when Leonica had come up with the idea of a whole day's date and wanted to build a list of good places, she called Anastasia, who, being the expert, had come up with an entire list of amazing places that served amazing dishes and created the perfect atmosphere for couples.

"Always reserve the window seat." She had said, and Leonica did exactly that.

"Well, you definitely chose well." Owen complimented.

"Glad you think so."
