Paris

Once they got to the other side of the river Harry was pointing out a few things to Ash.

"Just so you know, we're taking the limo to the hotel, and then we'll get something to eat there," he told her. "It's a little too late to tour, but we can enjoy the view over to the hotel and our room."

"Okay," she smiled while they rode on.

Soon, Harry noticed that they were getting closer to the hotel. "Ashlyn, do you trust me?" Harry asked.

"If I say yes, what are you going to do?" she smiled.

Harry reaches into his jacket and pulls out a silk scarf. "Kate said that I could borrow this. I want to blindfold you so that you don't see anything."

"But I've never been to Paris before," Ash said looking around the limo taking in all the sights and sounds.

Harry frowns, "I know, but the view from our room is part of the surprise. If you see it now..."

Ash sighs and smiles, "Okay."

Harry smiles as she turns around so that he could put the silk scarf over her eyes and ties it in a knot behind her head. "There... can you see anything?"

Ash shakes her head, "Nope."

He takes her hands to have her turn to face him. "Ash, I love you, and I want this trip, even though it's a few days, to be a memorable moment for you, for us. Forget everything back home and at Leigh's for these next few days. We are together, no one else members, well security, but it's just us."

Ash smiles, "Okay."

He leans in and kisses her as she kisses back.

"Sir, we are here," the driver said.

"Thank you. You know what to do," Harry told him.

"What's going on?" Ash asked softly.

"He's parking the limo so that the security can help us go into the hotel lobby. We just wait for the clearing and we can go."

"Can I take the blindfold off?" she asked.

"Not yet. Not until we are inside. If you take it off now you'll see the surprise."

"Okay," she said.

After five minutes, they got the clear to head on inside. With the driver opening the door and the security protecting them, Harry gets out, helps Ashlyn out of the limo and guides her into the lobby.

"Good evening your highness," the valet said as he was holding the door open for them.

"Good evening, thank you," Harry said as he helped Ash inside.

Once they were inside. Harry reaches up to untie the scarf.

Ash felt the scarf fall as she looks around the lobby.

"Kate said you can have the scarf," Harry smiled before kissing her cheek.

Ash looks at it closely to see how beautiful it was.

"Ah... Your highness... Mademoiselle Ashlyn, welcome to Pullman Hotel."

"Thank you," Harry smiled.
