    Chapter 8
     
    When I open my eyes again, we are standing on a cliff of red stone.  This time, there’s a guard rail. So at least I was thinking about safety even if I did forget about stealth. I think the little old lady and her husband standing next to us are both about to have a stroke.
     
    “Our apologies,” Kallen says, “we did not mean to startle you.”
     
    “Where did you come from,” the woman asks with her hand on her chest.
     
    Boy, I really hope I can cure a heart attack or I’m going to feel very badly when she drops to the ground any second now.  Pointing behind them, I say vaguely, “Over there.”
     
    The old gray-haired man takes his wife by the arm and leads her away from us.  I can’t say that I blame him.  I wasn’t very convincing. I look up sheepishly at Kallen again.
     
    He laughs. “First you try to kill me, and then you startle the elderly almost to death. This vacation is not off to the best of starts.”
     
    He’s right of course. But I’m not willing to admit that yet. Taking his hand in mine, I say, “Let’s walk around for a while.”  Being the wonderful husband he is, he lets me ignore the truth of his statement and gladly starts walking with me. I’m sure it’s only because we’re on our honeymoon though.
     
    There are several cement walkways branching off in different directions from the overlook; we choose to follow the one that leads us to the visitor center.  There’s a large map outside the center, and we were able to find out our location, a place called Mathers Point.  We continue to walk around for a while longer, stopping every few minutes to gaze off into the distance at the beautiful multicolored rocks and the river far below.
     
    Leaning my head on Kallen’s shoulder, I say, “Weren’t you born when this was still filled in?”  I love to tease him about the fact that he was here over three hundred years ago. Time moves differently in the Fairy realm than in this one.
     
    “Yes, I believe I was here with the date,” he says with a grin.
     
    I narrow my eyes up at him. “You do know it’s a long way down, don’t you?”
     
    He chuckles and pulls me into his arms. “You know there was never any one before you.”
     
    It’s a good thing I do know that.  “What should we do now?”  I’m not really interested in riding a burro down to the bottom of the canyon or camping anywhere around here, so the impatient me is ready to move on.
     
    Kallen’s eyebrows raised. “Has your attention span always been this short?”
     
    I pretend to think about it a moment before shrugging and saying, “Yeah, pretty much.”
     
    He shakes his head. “This is our honeymoon you know; that’s supposed to include at least some romance.  Yet all you want to do is bounce from place to place.”
     
    “I guess I’m just so giddy about being able to see whatever I want, that I want to see it all right now.”
     
    He chuckles again.  “You are the most impatient person I have ever met.”
     
    I sigh.  He’s right yet again.  We are supposed to be taking some time to actually enjoy ourselves.  I know!  A new location pops into my head. “We can go to a stereotypical human honeymoon spot.”
     
    He cocks his head to the side. “Where would this be?”
     
    “Let’s go to Niagara Falls.”
     
    “If we go to this new place, are we going to stay there for more than an hour?”
     
    I nod and smile mischievously. “We can even spend the night,” I purr seductively.
     
    A big grin forms on his lips. “Then I would love to see Niagara Falls.”
     

 
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter 9
     
    Again, our arrival does not go unnoticed; I teleport us into a crowd of people.  I’m just thankful that it was just into the crowd and not into an actual person. I wonder if that’s even possible.  Definitely not something I want to find out
