The summer of 2024 had been sweltering, the air heavy with anticipation as Belly and Conrad prepared to exchange vows beneath a canopy of oak trees. The setting sun bathed the outdoor ceremony in a warm, golden hue, and the evening was filled with laughter, joy, and the sweet sound of chirping crickets. Now, as the newlyweds strolled hand in hand to their cozy honeymoon cabin, they couldn't help but smile at the thought of finally having some time alone together.

As they entered the cabin, Belly's heart raced with a blend of excitement and nervousness. Conrad had chosen this secluded hideaway for their honeymoon, a picturesque cabin tucked away in the woods, surrounded by tall pines and the serenading whispers of the forest. It was a place of serenity and romance, the perfect setting for their first night as husband and wife.

Conrad pulled Belly close, his eyes locked onto hers, filled with love and adoration. "Are you happy, my love?" he whispered, his voice a soft caress against her ear.

Belly nodded, her cheeks flushed with a mixture of emotions. "More than I can express. I'm so grateful you're in my life, Conrad."

Conrad leaned in and pressed his lips to hers, a kiss filled with tenderness and promise. As they parted, he took her hand and led her into the cabin's inviting living room, where a fire crackled in the stone fireplace, casting a warm, intimate glow throughout the room. The soft light danced on their faces as Conrad spoke.

"I've planned something special for us, my dear. Just give me a moment," he said with a grin before disappearing into the bedroom.

Belly sank into the plush sofa, her heart still racing. She felt a mixture of excitement and a touch of vulnerability, but she trusted Conrad with all her heart. Moments later, he returned, holding a tray with two glasses of champagne and a plate of chocolate-covered strawberries.

He handed her a glass and took a seat beside her. They clinked their glasses together and took a sip. The champagne was crisp and cool, a perfect contrast to the summer heat that lingered in the cabin.

"To us," Conrad said, his gaze locked on Belly's, "and the beginning of our forever together."

Belly smiled and brought her glass to her lips. "To us."

They indulged in the sweet strawberries, the chocolate melting in their mouths. They talked, laughed, and shared stories of their journey together. The hours slipped away, and the firelight dimmed, casting shadows around the room.

Finally, Conrad rose and extended his hand. "Dance with me, Belly."

She took his hand, and they swayed gently to Fine Line by Harry Styles, their love filling the cabin like a cherished song. The world outside seemed to disappear as they moved in each other's arms, their hearts beating as one.

As the night deepened, they made their way to the bedroom, where soft, moonlit shadows danced on the walls.  Laughter and naughty words were being whispered. The rest of the world ceased to exist for them as they began a new chapter in their lives, a chapter filled with love, commitment, and endless possibilities.

The summer of 2024 marked the beginning of their forever, and as they held each other in the quiet of their honeymoon cabin, they knew that their love would only continue to grow stronger with each passing day.
