Brad POV

"Ava!"

"One minute," she yells. I look at the clock on the wall and sigh.

"We are going to be late if you don't hurry up."

"I know... I know..." She says stumbling into the living room.

Placing a kiss on my lips "I'm sorry," she apologizes.

"It's okay, let's go." I hold her hand and start walking towards the door with our luggage. We have rented a car in this new city. For our honeymoon, we decided to come to Canada.

I open the door for Ava she says a thank you before getting in. I go over to my side to see her opening my door from inside.

"I love you." She smiles widely.

"I love you too." I close the door and put on the seatbelt. The weather is good, the roads weren't bustling with people.

Ava connected her phone and played a Spanish song which she liked to hear these days. I don't remember the song name even though she told me a lot of times.

"I can't control my excitement," Ava says bobbing her head.

"Don't control."

"Yes!" She starts singing the lyrics and does her cute dance. I place my hand on her thigh and drive.

"Did we reach?"

"No, we will in six minutes," I say looking at the map. We reached the place, I slow down the car and look for the parking sign.

Parking the car, I get out of the car and go over to Ava's side. I open her door after she steps out I lock the car.

"Did you call him?" Ava asks.

"Yeah, he is waiting at the front desk," I tell her pulling the luggage out. We walk to the front desk, there were people so I pull out my mask and cap.

"How may I help you, sir and ma'am?" The front desk lady asks.

"I'm looking for Mr Dasani, I have booking done and he is our guide."

"Just a moment sir, I will call Mr Dasani."

I and Ava stand there as the lady calls Mr Dasani. "There are many people," Ava said.

"Yeah."

"Mr and Mrs MacCarthy." I turn my head and see a tall man wearing casual clothes with a huge smile on his walk towards us.

"Hello," Ava greets the man.

"Hello, Mr and Mrs MacCarthy. I'm Rahul Dasani, I will be your guide for the day and then I will take you to your respective cabin."

"Hello, Mr Dasani." We talk about the activities before following him to do our first activity.

We put on our jackets and gloves, "I'm nervous and excited."

"This is my first time," I say looking at the snow and other people who are standing.

"Same, we won't fall right?" She asked.

"We won't, Rahul will be there."

We are here to do dog sledging for the first time. I'm not even sure why I agreed to Ava when she said she wanted to do dog sledging after watching videos on YouTube.

"It will take another fifteen minutes, they are taking the dogs out and getting them ready," Rahul said.

"Sure." We look around to see dogs and the guides who are helping the dogs.

"They are barking loudly," I say. The barks are the only thing that can be heard.

"They bark because they are getting excited about the run, you don't have to worry they are friendly," Rahul said.

"They are so beautiful!" Ava yells in happiness. I look at her with a smile on her face.

"Awe, the sky is marvellous Brad! I love this."

"Yes, the northern lights are beautiful."

I hug her from behind enjoying the aurora borealis. I know Ava always wanted to see the northern lights. I remember her asking Vincent and her parents to take her to the northern lights.

"I always wanted to see northern lights when I first time saw them in our social textbook," Ava said.

"But how did you know that I wanted to see northern lights?" She asks turning around in my arms. I look down at her, her nose and cheeks turned red because of the slight cold.

"You used to ask your parents and I heard it," I say.

"Awe, you listen to everything I say but you didn't dare to talk to me."

"I still can't believe that you loved me for years. I used to look at you and crush on you but you never realised that" she adds tracing her thumb on my wedding ring. I chuckle kissing her red nose. We sit down on the chairs arranged for us along with our dinner.

"Click my pictures," Ava says handing her camera.

I clicked her pictures while she posed then it was my turn to pose while she clicked. We put the timer on and clicked together pictures.

"What about our luggage?" Ava asked as I cut the steak for her.

"It is in the cabin, Rahul informed me that they dropped our luggage and keys in the cabin."

"Good."

"This tastes delicious," Ava says as I feed the steak.

We talk about our day and about the dogs eating our food. "Try this," I say placing the chicken kebab on her plate.

I gaze at Ava's ring finger. I feel happiness rushing inside me as the ring shines in the moonlight. That is a wonderful sight to see. I look at my ring finger, I still can't believe I'm a married man.

Never imagined that I would be marrying Ava. I believed I would marry one day but didn't expect that one day to be in this year. I'm proud and happy though.

"What ya thinking?"

"Our marriage." She smiles showing her ring.

"It feels surreal right?" She asks.

"Yes."

"Poppy shared an article, our wedding is the wedding of the month," she says.

"I saw it when you read the message out in the morning," I reply finishing the whine.

"We're you the one who gave permission to post our wedding pictures?" She asks.

"It was Mack's idea and he shared the pictures with media."

"Haha I knew it but he wouldn't dare to share without your permission right."

I smile shaking my head, I want everyone to know that I'm married to Ava. So I gave permission to Mack to share the wedding photos. Our wedding was a private wedding as I didn't want it to be exclusive.

I was happy with the people who were present at the wedding. I only wanted those people who were genuinely happy for my happiness. I didn't want to invite those people from my professional life who were kind of jealous and toxic.

"Noah, Tom and Robert were the one's who got major popularity from our wedding photos. I heard they became a hot topic in their school and on social media for their looks," she says.

"Didn't know that."

We spoke about random things and the funny incidents that happened at the reception. I laughed along with her remembering the speeches.

I trace my finger on her soft skin, the light is shining on her. I smile when she makes noise before turning the other side.

I look around the cabin before looking back at her. I couldn't sleep after our intense sex and Ava dozed off. I sigh laying back and looking at the wooden ceiling. I don't know how much time passed.

"Can't sleep?" I heard Ava ask. I turn my head to see her yawning.

"Yeah, why did you wake up?" I ask her.

"I don't know, I woke up."

"What time is it?" She asks throwing her leg on me. I look at the digital clock on the nightstand.

"Three in the morning," I say facing her. She leans over kissing my lips. I wrap my hand around her neck pulling her closer.

She moans getting on top of me. We pull away, I look at her as she settles down on me pushing her wavy hair back.

I hold her hips, she starts tracing her finger on my chest with her eyes fixed on mine. She takes my hand and places it on her chest.

"I love you..." I whisper gently massaging her chest.

"I love you."
