I picked her up from work, that's why she was dressed so nicely. I was still in my work clothes too, but that only was jeans and a sweatshirt for me. She looked so lovely curled up in the passenger's seat. I always felt like I won the lottery when I looked at her. We were headed north and the road was pretty empty which was odd for a Friday night. But there was a big snowstorm headed our way. It was forecasted to hit us right when we got to the cabin, but the weatherman is never right. It was snowing like mad. Driving in snow like this always reminded me of those scenes from Star Wars where they jumped into hyperspace, I loved it. I glanced at my angel sleeping beside me. I was happy she was asleep, otherwise she'd get nervous and want to find a place to stop until things blew over.
I almost missed the driveway to the cabin, the snow was so thick that I barely could make out the numbers on the mailbox. The sudden turn woke my sleeping beauty. She seemed a bit dazed as almost everything outside the truck was white.
"Where are we? And when did it start snowing?"
"We're almost there, about a mile more."
"Are you sure you're even on a road"
"ROADS? I knew I was forgetting something! No, babe, we're on a driveway. We'll be there soon."
She smiled at my joke, and punched my arm. That smile could have melted all the snow that was blanketing the thickening forest that we drove though.
As we rounded the last turn, the cabin came into view. It was a bit smaller than the guy said it was, but it was perfect for a weekend away. I pulled as close to the door as I could, not knowing if I was still on the driveway or now in the middle of the front lawn. I didn't care so much anymore though, the snow was falling heavier and I didn't want to get buried on the walk to the door.
"The key should be in the box next to the door. Can you get the door open while I grab the bag?"
"Of course!" she said as she kissed me and hopped out of the truck.
I hopped out as well, and snatched the bag from the bed. As I rounded the truck, the front door was opening and I rushed inside.
The interior was amazing! There was a comfy looking couch right by the fireplace that took up one whole wall. Through the door behind the couch looked like a cozy bedroom with a four post bed that looked like trees growing out of the floor. The floors were covered in warm fur rugs that contrasted the hardwood.
"Damn, its cold! I'll get a fire started. you go change into something a bit warmer."
