Savannah huddled in her sweater, next to Noah. Her first purchase was definitely going to be a jacket.

The driver of the little carriage didn’t seem to notice the cold.

“You two barely made it before the Grand Hotel closes next month,” he said. “There are a few places open in winter, but it gets a little more difficult to get here. Especially after winter really gets going.

“Do people live here in the winter?” Noah asked.

“A few hearty souls. You won’t catch me here though.”

The ride to the hotel was elegant. The driver took them around so that they traveled along the tree lined road up to the hotel. When the Grand Hotel came into view, it nearly took her breath away. It was truly an American castle.

She smiled at Noah. It was hard to believe that just less than three hours ago, they had been sitting in Birmingham, Alabama. Not much longer than it would take her to drive from her home on Lake Martin to Atlanta for a day of shopping. Now here they were on the other side of the country in another world.

The driver stopped at the front of the hotel, and like royalty, they were greeted by the valet. The valet took their luggage and helped her from the carriage.

Noah took her hand as they went up the stairs, across the front porch, and through the lobby to the check in desk.

“Good afternoon,” the clerk greeted them.

“We have a reservation for Worthington,” Noah said.

“Ah. Welcome Mr. and Mrs. Worthington,” the clerk said. “We have you in a lovely two-bedroom suite.”

Savannah opened her mouth, but Noah just shrugged.

She didn’t say anything. Didn’t correct the clerk to tell her she wasn’t Mrs. Worthington.

The clerk handed them keys – real keys, not key cards, and they followed the valet to the elevator and up to the fourth floor.

He opened the door, “Welcome to the newly renovated Cupola suite,” he said.

“I tried to get the Somewhere in Time room,” Noah said, “but it was already booked.”

“No,” Savannah said. “This is perfect.” Everything was elegantly decorated. The walls were papered in a cheerful blue color, the drapes, the flowers. “It looks like a room for a princess.”

After the valet left, Noah pulled her into a hug.

The clock on the wall chimed five times. “Hey,” he said. “It’s five o’clock.”

“Time for a martini?” she asked.

He grinned. “You read my mind.”

She laughed. Give me a minute to freshen up.

“Take your time.”

Suitcase in hand, she paused, turned back to him. “Which one is mine?”

“You can have whichever one you want.”

Savannah dragged her suitcase into the room to the right, which had two queen beds, dug her toiletry bag out of her suitcase, and went into the bathroom. She brushed her teeth, brushed her hair. It had been a long day, so there wasn’t a lot she could do. She freshened her make-up, added some lip gloss.

Took a deep breath and stretched. Looked around. What were they going to do with all these beds?

At thirty-nine, she was not easily impressed.
