Under The Tartosan Sun

Chapter Twenty

Following their spectacular wedding, Danielle and Londyn left the warmth and sunshine of Sulani for the cold and snow of Mt. Komorebi on the first leg of their honeymoon. It's a trip Londyn had dreamt about from time to time. Being raised in Sulani, four seasons are a strange new reality for Londyn. Sulani only has two seasons, hot in the fall and winter and hotter in spring and summer. And now, when the weather turns cool in Tartosa, it's not really all that bad. Snow was something that only happened on TV and ice was something you put in your drink. Pictures of snowy scenes always seemed so romantic to both Danielle and Londyn, it was the perfect place to have an unconventional honeymoon.

Mother Nature gave them a wedding gift. Just as they were arriving at their rental house the first flakes began to fall. This was a treat for Londyn since it was the first time in her life she had ever seen it snow. It was a bigger treat to look deep into each others eyes and get lost in the love that shone in them.

After settling in, and playing in the snow, a visit to the Onsen was just the thing. After the trip and weeks of preparations for their wedding, Danielle and Londyn were looking forward to relaxing in the famous warm spring water. They weren't disappointed, the water was refreshing and they felt all the weariness melt away.

When they weren't exploring new and exciting ways to show their love for each other, they were busy exploring Mt. Komorebi. The first thing they wanted to try was skiing. As you would expect, their first time on skies was a bit rocky...

They also made time to just be two souls deeply in love. Enjoying new adventures and experiences and doing them all with the most important person in the world, each other.

Before their honeymoon wound down Danielle and Londyn went hiking. It was quite the shock. Up on Mt. Komorebi it was endless snow and bitter cold. Down in the town, summer wasn't letting go. There was a late fall heatwave to greet them. It's a good thing that they listened to advice from people who had visited there at that time of year. The ladies were prepared for the weather in town, even though it was a bit uncomfortable getting out of and back into their lodgings.


Their time in Mt. Komorebi was coming to an end. The next stop was Henford-on-Bagley. It was right in front of the Gnome's Arms pub where Danielle knew her love for Londyn was real, that Londyn was the only one she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. To share every moment of joy, of pain, every high, every low, everything.

When they arrived it was if Mother Nature had arranged the weather just for them, sunny and warm. Very unlike the normal autumn weather in Henford. They rented a cottage on Nettle Lane. They quickly stowed their luggage and made a beeline for the village.

The nice weather held throughout the day. The ladies were able to go for a walk through the Bramblewood and enjoy the scenery. It would be so lovely to catch it in the summer when the leaves were still on the trees, or as the leaves were changing and hadn't yet dropped.

With their honeymoon at an end, it was back to Tartosa...and a bit of a surprise. Summer and Matteo stopped by to ask about the honeymoon, and in his case, deliver a surprise. Matteo excused himself for a few minutes to allow the ladies to talk.

"I want details. Don't hold anything back."

...they were all eager to help with Matteo's plan. We'll find out how the ladies figure into the plan in the next episode of Under The Tartosan Sun.☀️?
