Amanda's curiosity was almost getting the best of her. Once again, she'd somehow allowed Niels to blindfold her. She could only feel the terrain and the soft spring breeze blowing through her hair as he led her through... somewhere. She could hear Emi's excited squeals and Angelo's reactive laughter. Most comfortingly, she could feel Niels holding her securely. After walking for what felt like forever, Amanda was guided onto a bench. Her blindfold was removed and Niels whispered, “Here we are, remember this?”
Amanda stared at her surroundings with large eyes, memories flooding back to the forefront of her mind. it had been Valentine's Day, over 5 years ago, when Niels had brought Amanda to the gardens of the Palais du Luxembourg. There, at the pond where there were dozens of children playing with toy boats, Amanda had gotten lost in her dreams. Niels had pulled her onto his lap and wondered aloud if one day they could bring their future children to this very location. That evening, he had gotten down on one knee inside of the Eiffel tower and proposed to her. Tears of joy came to Amanda's eyes as she looked at her little family now. As many curveballs as life had thrown at them, some dreams still came through. "I'm glad you like it," Niels told her. "Happy anniversary, baby."
