As the days turned into weeks, Ella and Desmond's relationship continued to blossom. They spent every spare moment together, exploring the city, trying new restaurants, and just enjoying each other's company.
One Friday evening, as they were walking through the park, Desmond turned to her with a mischievous grin. "I have a surprise for you," he said, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
Ella's curiosity was piqued. "What is it?" she asked, trying to guess.
Desmond chuckled. "You'll just have to wait and see," he said, taking her hand and leading her to his car.
As they drove out of the city, Ella's excitement grew. Where were they going? What was the surprise?
Finally, after a few hours of driving, they arrived at a beautiful bed and breakfast in the mountains. Ella gasped in amazement as Desmond led her to their room, which had a stunning view of the surrounding mountains.
"This is incredible," Ella breathed, turning to Desmond with a smile.
Desmond grinned, pulling her into his arms. "I'm glad you like it," he said, his eyes sparkling with happiness. "I wanted to surprise you with a weekend getaway, just the two of us."
Ella's heart melted at the romantic gesture. "Thank you," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
As they spent the weekend exploring the mountains, holding hands, and just enjoying each other's company, Ella knew that she was falling deeply in love with Desmond. And she could tell by the way he looked at her, with such adoration and affection, that he felt the same way.
