Yes, it's worth it

'Yes, of course, just follow me,' you tell her. 'Though, maybe your slippers will get a little dirty. Is that okay?'

'Yes, I guess that's fine,' she sighs. 'Let's go then.'

'Great!' you smile with excitement. You grab the stroller by the front wheels, and lead it backwards through the unbroken path.

'Walk with your feet on the sides, like that,' you tell Suzanne. 'So you don't get too much mud under your slippers. And sorry for the branches, but I kept it that way because I wanted to keep this place a secret, you know? You'll see in a second.'

The two of you struggle through the mud and branches, a stroller between you, for a while. It's further than you remembered. But then you finally hear the comforting sounds of a babbling brook, and you know you're close.

'Alright, close your eyes!' you tell her. 'It's just straight on from here!'

'Really?' Suzanne sighs. 'You want me to close my eyes now too?'

'Just for a second!' you tell her enthusiastically. 'It will be better, I promise.'

'Fine,' she gives in, and closes her eyes, an unimpressed expression on her face.

You lead them into a small open clearing, which is attached to a large forest spring, the water leading down from a perfect little waterfall. It was one of the most beautiful places in your home town, and the one you have the best memories of. '

Often you would come here to read, in the peaceful sounds of nature. Sometimes, when it was hot you would swim in the cool water naked, knowing you were completely alone. You would masturbate here often too, thinking this place would be perfect for some secret little get together with a beautiful woman.

Suzanne is the first person you have ever been able to get here, and in your mind, that's a very good start. You put down the stroller, and tell Suzanne to do the same. You then walk behind her, and lead her into the perfect spot for her to see the spring.

'Open your eyes!' you tell her and await her reaction with an eager smile.

She looks at the picture with great amazement, much to your relief. 'Oh my god, Robbie! You were right! This is beautiful!'

'I know right!' you laugh joyfully. 'Hey, you want to have a picnic? I brought some snacks and a blanket.' This was true. You had expected to maybe visit this place alone again, and brought some supplies and a book. Being here with Suzanne is so much better than you could have ever imagined though.

'Oh yes!' she smiles, turns around, and hugs you suddenly. 'This is amazing, thank you!' She lets go of you. 'And you are the only one who knows about this place?'

'As far as I know, yes,' you tell her. 'I used to com here all the time, and never spotted anyone else. I'm glad to see the path still hidden too.'

'Wow, that's so cool! I've never even heard of this place. How did you find this place?'

'I will tell that story over a picnic. Help me set up.'
