Novel & Cerita Shady Nook Picnic Area

I have no idea where were going anyways he said with a smile. “Brother,” Nova muttered, rolling her eyes. Then, softer: “Let’s go, love.” She said tugging Aiden forward, and Arnold and I followed. “Too late to kick them out of this plan?” Arnold whispered. “Way too late,” I laughed, pointing ahead. The sight stopped me in my tracks. Two blankets were spread across perfect grass, picnic baskets and snacks laid out. Soft lights hung overhead, glowing like starlight. Simple. Beautiful. Almost heartbreakingly so.

There would be no need to worry about them. I spotted a designated area for gardening, where tiny hands could nurture plants and watch them grow. A shaded section with benches and picnic tables offered a peaceful spot for snacks and story time. It was on the picnic table I saw a little boy and girl, peering down with a frown at their book. My legs took me there before I realized where I was heading. It wasn't until I stood in front of them, my shadow casting over them, did I realize I had stepped without knowing it.

She climbs up and is further blown away when she sees the picnic set up at the top. A furry navy-blue blanket covers the ground, a small wooden prop table with two plates each covered with fancy looking silver rounded covers, and a few couch pillows tossed around for them to sit and lean on. There is a small lamp placed in the middle of the table with a few candles as well. “What are you waiting for?” Harken whispers from behind her. Noel is still hunched over the top railing, in complete awe of how much effort Harken put in for her birthday, continuing to blow her away every second.

"Thank you." "So where should we head to first?" "Um... " I pause. "You'll see." I drive to the Veterans park. I stare at all the picnic tables but no shade. We couldn't sit under the sun all day. That'd be bad. My eyes fall on a table with a lot of shade and I smile. Just when I move, I notice another couple heading for the table, and they notice me too. I take Rosie's hands and we sprint for the table just as the other couple does.

“The last signal bounced about 10 minutes ago.” “That’s a nature preserve not far from my mother’s house,” Rina exclaims, taking the laptop and zooming in on the space. “There…” she points to one spot in particular. “There isn’t much there, but high schoolers and rough kids use it as a hangout. It’s too rocky to hike around and well-hidden, so it’s not used by anyone else. It’s like a hookup destination and party spot in warmer weather.”

Lana is useless, so I'm the only one in charge. Jared knew that Nolan was trying to provoke him, so Jared gave a warning. When he saw that Nolan kept quiet obediently, he did not ask further as well. Looking up, he saw that Nicole had already found an open space with shade from a big tree. It was a good spot for a picnic. He then walked over with the children and prepared for the picnic with Nicole. After laying out the picnic mat, everyone took out the prepared food and placed it on the mat. They sat down on the mat, and Nolan and Lana could no longer wait and started eating. They were famished and tired after walking a distance.

Bonus Chapter 26 – Outdoor Picnic Risk (Early Marriage, Secluded Park Day Trip) Eli's POV The park felt forgotten—far enough from the main trails that the only sounds were wind moving through the canopy, birds calling to each other, and the faint, constant murmur of the little stream that wound through the undergrowth. We’d found this clearing months ago during a late-afternoon hike, marked it on our phones like a secret, and kept coming back whenever we needed somewhere the city couldn’t reach us. Tall pines and maples formed a loose circle around the patch of soft grass; sunlight filtered through in golden shafts, warm even in the late-spring shade.

In this area, there was a mini waterfall and another breathtaking view of the interconnecting valleys and rivers of Phanteon, and a different angle of the snow mountains. Catching her attention, Serena moved closer to the set-up I had going. It was near a cliff edge, certainly dangerous to humans, but not to us. Under the moonlit sky and surrounded by nothing but nature, this was my version of a romantic picnic. ‘A picnic?’ she echoed, now freely reading my thoughts. ‘Oh Aero, this is so sweet of you! So this is what you’ve been hiding from me since this morning?!’ Her wolf eyes took all of the elements in: a cozy, double padded duvet spread on the ground, candelabras lit around it, and a sm

His steps were more aggressive now, and he walked ahead of us. He was acting like a child. Just because I agreed to come, didn’t mean all of my rules would be completely thrown out. We had taken an off beat dirt path, and eventually led to a clearing in the trees. A dark blue blanket was laid on the flattest part of the ground, and a woven picnic basket sits on top of it. “What is this?” “A late lunch,” Shane answered. I stared, not sure what to say to this. We all made our way onto the blanket. They were the first to take a seat, while I debated how I was going to sit down in such a short dress.

“Coming too, Say?” Aletta welcomed Maureen under the pergola designed to provide shade for the party hosts. The outdoor space usually filled with sets of picnic chairs was replaced by various colorful waterproof beanbags and beach chairs. “I told you earlier to look atfor a second.” Maureen scanned the faces that passed by her. “Crowded too.” Maureen nodded, following the beat of the music played by the female dj under another pergola.
