It was another surprise. Tobias covered Wren's eyes as he led her outside the house. There now stood a cobblestone archway with an oak wooden door without handle but a single keyhole. Carefully he produced a key and pressed it to into his wife's hand.
"Okay." He uncovered her eyes and gestured, "Open."
When she opened the door, an amazing garden would become visible even though the stone archway was free standing. There was a crystal clear spring. On one side, shallow enough for Jonas to play in if observed. From a pale barked tree hung a wooden seat swing, held by fine rope. That same tree boasted silver apples and a ladder, leading to a tree house with a slide that wound around the tree.
"I thought given the lives we live... A sanctuary for you and Jonas, protected by magic could be helpful." Tobias smiled bashfully.
