There was a cottage there in the distance.

He had been here before, but only once and that was all the way back at the beginning of the summer. The last thing he really wanted to do was get lost, especially since Ella was with him.
Speaking of the blonde, he shot a grin in her direction and gave her hand a gentle squeeze. Could she tell how excited he was? Because he was excited! Alec remembered when the kid was being born -- fanboying with General Kaid had taken place -- and now here he was. A year old already! It was probably because of this that the nineteen year old had made extra careful to wrap the present perfectly. And... well... it still wasn't greatly wrapped but here's hoping that Gunnar would concentrate on the gift more than the wrapping.
"This is it!" he called excitedly as he stepped up to the door, "We're not late, are we?" Ella trusted Alec's sense of direction and so she followed his lead, holding on to his hand happily. She'd missed this and the fact that she got to spend time with him
and see people she hadn't in a while was extremely exciting to the blonde.
Smiling back at the hair ruffler, the nineteen year old returned the hand squeeze and tilted her head. He DID look excited and it was absolutely adorable. So much so that she had to resist the urge to stop and kiss his face right then and there. Ugh, this was going to be one of THOSE days when she wanted to do that lots, wasn't it?
Checking her watch,
Ella shook her head and smiled reassuringly at the boyfriend person.
"Right on time, actually." Then dropping his hand, the blonde stepped forward and knocked several times.
"This should be fun." GRIN!
