Chapter 45

The following morning, as the golden rays of the sun kissed the tranquil countryside, Alexander decided it was time to return to the city. He reached for his phone and called his driver to arrange for their journey back.

While they waited for the car to arrive, Victoria and Alexander strolled through the meadows one last time, soaking in the serenity of the surroundings. The weekend had been a retreat from the chaos of their lives, a pause button pressed on the demands of their professional worlds.

As the sleek black car pulled up to the cottage, the driver stepped out to open the door for them. Alexander, turning to Victoria with a twinkle in his eye, said, "Victoria, how about we extend this getaway a bit? I have an idea."

Intrigued, Victoria looked at him, waiting for him to share his plan. Alexander continued, "What if we take a detour on our way back to the city? How about a spontaneous trip to Italy for a lover's getaway?"
