A Hotel in Mexico | Wednesday Afternoon

[knife_bender]

It had been a really, really good honeymoon so far. Sure, they hadn't found any untouched ancient ruins to explore and potentially break, but they had been to the beach a lot, and seen some truly awesome views.

And there was also the part where they'd occasionally spend a day not leaving the hotel suite, like today. Those days were just as good. Shame it'd be over in a few days.

"Look, this food has been great," Diego said, looking over the room service menu. "But I'm actually kind of dying for a cheeseburger right now."

[For the wife!]

"We can pretend they didn't hear anything, sure," he teased, accepting the shake and taking a sip. "Pretty good milkshake for Mexico."

"It's great." And still cold and not melted at all, which did not bode well for that poor employee having not caught any of the fireworks. Annie sighed happily, tucking herself right back in against Diego and taking a fry because of course they were eating this in bed. "I'm so happy, Diego."

Like, everything from the day they were married to now was maybe the happiest she had ever been, and it absolutely showed.

"Because of the fries?" he joked.

"The fries aren't hurting," Annie noted, turning her head to give him a cold, strawberry-flavored kiss for that.

Also, they apparently did have ranch dressing in fancy Mexican resorts, so that was a relief for Annie's delicate Iowan sensibilities.

"It's gonna be hard to go back to reality." At least they had a few days, still.

"Yeah," he agreed, snagging a fry. "But at least there's no wedding planning? And our jobs are now officially super easy for the both of us."

"Don't jinx us into having weird island shit to deal with," Annie cautioned, because that sounded like a cue for something to come up. "And I'll have the rager to plan, soon enough."

Summer was probably already working on it, actually, knowing Summer.

It was a little weird, of course, because without the wedding occupying a lot of her time, Annie really was going to have to face how much free time she had here in the wake of having blown up her career, but psh. That was a minor crisis for when they did, in fact, return to reality.
