[21:00] (Molly) [20:23] (Molly) The remaining days at The Golden Lantern passed quickly, and they saw Tao and Ling only at dinner time. In some ways, the garden was like their own little world, just the two of them in the warm Eisen summer with the humming of bees and tweeting of birds. (Mtf)
[21:00] (Molly) [20:24] (Molly) Their time was never rushed, they were never interrupted. They held hands as they walked the gardens and she pointed out various herbs and plants. They sat side by side as he patiently taught her to sketch, albeit poorly. They lay together on the grass watching day turn to night and the stars appear. They made love whenever the mood took them, which was rather often, leaving them more at ease physically with each other. (Mtf)
[21:00] (Molly) [20:25] (Molly)  They laughed, far more than they'd ever laughed together before. Where their love had been forged in the fires of adversity, their marriage was now being tempered in the cool waters of solitude and gentle peace. (Mtf)
[21:00] (Molly) [20:25] (Molly) By the time they were packed and ready to depart, it began to feel as if they were leaving a very special place behind them, and starting a new journey in their life together, closer than they ever had been.(mtf)
[21:01] (Molly) [20:26] (Molly) In the dining room with the lantern, they wait alone for news of their carriage to the docks. (Done)
[21:01] (Molly) [20:35] * Molly double checks they have everything. The next leg of their journey is a six hour ferry trip back to Baden where they plan to stay before the full day's ride back to Innesbruck.
[21:01] (Molly) [20:36] (Molly) Well, liebes herz, I'm as ready as I shall be...
