It was the greatest feeling in the world, which I had spent one year with the love of my life. I felt like a little kid in a candy store with so much excitement.

We sat down outside at a table under a roof made of branches woven together and had a plate of french fries for dinner. The sun set and cast glowing golden light through the cracks between the branches. The lady who owned the hotel laughed at me because I was trying hard not to fall asleep.
