Even the old dog outside turned to look at them in amusement.

A few minutes later, the two finally headed out.

Given that it was early autumn, the summit was extremely beautiful. The sky was clear other than for the occasional cloud. The setting was picture-perfect.

The leaves had turned yellow while the grass was no longer as green.

In fact, the view from the summit was a colorful one. Trees were laden with fruits that Sasha couldn’t recognize while the hill was covered in flaming red foliage.

It was a sight to behold.

 

“Darling, where would you like to go? Why don’t we take a stroll in the vegetable garden behind the house? Old Mr. Jadeson mentioned that some of his beans are ripe. Perhaps we can check on them and harvest them for dinner later? I’m sure they taste delicious.”

Sasha stood by Sebastian’s side outside the wooden cottage.

 

Suddenly, she had an idea. Turning to look at him, her sparkling eyes glistened in the sun.

Her gaze took Sebastian’s breath away.

Her eyes sparkled so brightly that made him look elsewhere awkwardly.
