Romantic Cabin Sleepover (Audio Script)

Stories

Oh, I’m so glad to be sitting down.

Oh, really?

I mean, I’m surprised it was harder than you expected.

You definitely did your research, and it was everything you promised, but no, it wasn’t easy.

Well found, love.

I enjoyed it… but it’s good to be back.

I’ll certainly raise a toast to a comfy seat.

No, I definitely agree.

That hike really was something.

It did start off feeling a little… claustrophobic, with all those people.

But once we managed to get some space, it was amazing.

Agreed.

That incredible view at the end… totally worth the effort.

I’d actually never been up that route before, even though I grew up not too far from here.

I had no idea what I was missing.

What was your favorite part?

Oooh, yeah. I loved that. Good choice.

The way it just opened up as we came out from the trees there… it was almost cinematic.

My favorite?

Hmm…

The hike back down where it looked like we were descending into the treetops was pretty cool, but if I’m being honest… my favorite view of the whole weekend is the one in front of me now.

Of course I mean you.

Nope, I don’t care one bit if that’s cheesy. It’s true.

And besides… if there’s anywhere to drop a cheesy romantic line, it’s in this cozy little cabin after an incredible day of sightseeing.

It’s just so… romantic.

I really hope you’re having a good time, sweetheart.

Well, of course. I know you are.

I just… I wanted this weekend to be perfect for you, so… I’m glad it has been so far.

This wine is excellent, by the way.

Where’d you find it?

Oh, I always mean to take a look in there… I make a note of it every time I pass, but I’ve never actually been inside.

Guess I’ve been missing out, huh?

Well, when we get back, we can see about one of their wine tastings. We can get dressed up, head for dinner afterward… what do you think?

I like taking you places: spending time together, sharing experiences, and good wine.

Yes, I know we’re doing that now.

But when I take you out, I can show you off, too.

And you know how much I love to show you off.

Well, I do feel incredibly lucky to be with you.

I like giving you good reasons to keep choosing to share your life with me.

Sometimes I can’t believe you chose me…

Okay, okay. I’m sorry for being so cheesy this weekend. I’m just happy here, I can’t help it, but every word is true, too. Just so you know.

Hm?

You want to take a look at the other trails?

Sure, baby. I’ve got the map…

Right here.

Let’s take a look at the other trails.

Oh, you’re right, the orange one looks interesting: the way it takes you down into that little valley we saw today, that could be really nice.

Maybe we could get a better look at that lake you were so curious about.

And it looks like it’s quite a bit shorter of a trek than the one we did today… which could be nice to do tomorrow.

If we don’t have too much of this delicious wine…

Okay, good.

Sounds like a plan.

Oh, are your feet hurting?

Aw, that sucks.

You did say you were worried those boots weren’t fully broken in, and that hike was massive today.

Oh, baby. I know, you did your best to break them in before we got here, and your old boots wouldn’t have cut it, they were falling apart.

I’m sorry…

Here, if you want to drape them across my lap, I’ll check for blisters.

Hmm, this one looks okay.

I don’t see anything…

Nope, nothing other than this pretty curve here…

Oh, does that tickle?

I had no idea you were ticklish…

Okay, okay. I’ll stop, but I don’t see any blisters, so that’s good news for tomorrow’s hike.

Yeah, I think you probably just need some time to rest it.

Muscles are probably sore… just need a really good night of rest…

Right here with me, and this glass of wine by the fire.

This cabin was such a good find.

I think the couch might be more comfortable than the one I’ve got at home, honestly.

It’s good to have a change of scenery for sure. Especially when it’s so secluded…

As much as I like showing you off… having you all to myself is much better.

Ah, no, you sit and rest those sore feet, sweetheart.

I’ll get us both another glass.

Here we are, all topped up, and I brought you a snack.

Yeah, I stopped by your favorite bakery on my way to pick you up.

Of course, a special treat for my special girl.

You’re welcome, baby.

I mean, yeah. I’d do more than buy you a pastry to see you smile.

I love your smile.

Every time I see it it just makes me feel… I don’t know, like… fuzzy inside.

Fuzzy seems like a perfectly fine description to me.

Do you know what I mean, though?

It’s like… comfy and safe… but also happy and warm… and even though it hasn’t been so long… it feels like it’s just always been like this.

Do you know what I mean?

I’m glad I make you feel fuzzy too.

No, I know I’m still standing.

Before I sit, just… come here for a minute.

Yeah, stand up.

I’ll take your glass…

We can set it right here, so you can… dance with me.

You’re a perfect fit against me like this.

I love feeling you so close to me.

You want me to spin you?

Oh, you meant—

Oh, yeah, a little spin for me.

Well, thank you, my dear…

I love this. So much.

I love just swaying with you… holding you against me… feeling you…

Tell me… what are you thinking about right now, baby…?

Oh, really?

What exactly are you thinking of…?

If I were to ask you for your favorite memory of us, what would that be?

Oh, yeah… that was such a nice day, lying in the grass… the feeling of running my fingers through your hair while you read your book.

Mmm, you always smell so good.

And that was such a peaceful afternoon.

I did just kiss your palm, yes.

Oh, really?

It reminded you of what…?

Interesting.

No, no, nothing… I just didn’t expect a little kiss to bring up that particular memory.

But I suppose dancing isn’t so different to that, so it makes sense.

You want to know my favorite memory?

Well for me, today is definitely a favorite.

Exploring the forests, the trails…

And I admit the way you looked in those shorts was excellent motivation to keep pace.

Well, what can I say…

When you were leading me off the trail trying to get a better look at that lake, I was more than happy to be just a step or two behind…

Do you like knowing I was watching you?

Yeah?

Baby, I love watching you…
