Henry took a honeymoon vacation, skipping work.

After breakfast, Sonya went upstairs to find him and ask him to go for a walk.

He rewarded her request with a kiss, which quickly escalated into something much more intense.

"Come on, I'll take you somewhere."

He took her downstairs, out of the house, across the lawn towards the west, to a small merry-go-round near where the lawn met a grove of maple trees.

Sonya hurried over and turned to Henry."Why is there a merry-go-round here?"

Henry shook his head. "I don't know. I don't know who put it here."

Sonya sat down, looking expectantly at Henry.

He smiled and pushed her.

"There's a merry-go-round like this in the small plaza near my old house. When I was little, my friends and I would go there. There were always a lot of kids, so we had to wait a long time, and we could only ride for a short time. My dream was to have one in my own yard, so my friends and I could play all day."

"You can ride it all day today," Henry said.

Sonya sat on the merry-go-round, looking up at the clear blue sky, the slightly misty lawn, the crimson maple trees-a sea of flame. She looked at Henry, smiling as brightly as everything around them.

He narrowed his eyes, told her to hold on tight, and gave her a few quick spins. Then he jumped on, hugged her, and kissed her in the soft morning mist.

They spent a long time on the merry-go-round.

When the sun rose, Henry took Sonya to the glass sunroom.

It was carpeted with thick, plush rugs, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling bookshelves filled with books.

Henry picked up a book; Sonya found one too and settled on his lap to read. She loved this.

After a few pages, she realized she hadn't read a word, didn't even know what book she was holding. She looked at the cover: a history book on the Warring States period. Sonya blushed, resolving to pull herself away from the distraction and actually read.

Time drifted by, filled only with the rustle of pages. Sonya gradually became interested, reading page after page, then stopped at a passage with a note written in the margin. "If one day I disappear, you must find me. You absolutely must."

The writing was a little messy, but there was a reply below.
