Viktoria was sitting in the passenger seat, hands placed lightly on her lap. Her eyes were moving between the window and Nikolai's serene face. She had been trying to figure out where they were going for the last twenty minutes, but Nikolai was giving nothing away.
"Come on, Nikolai," Viktoria said in a light-hearted yet slightly irritated tone. "You're not even giving me a hint. I'm starting to think you're kidnapping me at this point."
Nikolai chuckled and smiled at the mention of kidnapping. "I promise you'll like it. Just trust me."
"I'm not a very good person when it comes to surprises," Viktoria said, giving Nikolai a mock stern look. "You're lucky I didn't want to drive instead."
"You wouldn't have known the way," Nikolai said smoothly, giving Viktoria a brief glance before refocusing on the road. "It's a secret place. You'll see."
