"We both felt it – how the days just slipped away in a whirlwind of appointments, work, and everyday routines.

It’s not that we didn’t appreciate daily life – after all, that is life. But we missed those moments that were just ours. Time to be together without distractions. Time to talk, laugh, and dream away. Time to enjoy good food, beautiful surroundings, and to feel like two people who belong together – not just two who share a calendar.

We needed a little break – just the two of us."
