a yellow and black sign that reads wildlife 55 km / h, dusk to dawn
an ocean view with waves coming in from the shore and grass growing on the beach
"We made our way down the sandy track, past the shacks to the open beach. The sky was foreboding, threatening rain, and the wind squalled relentlessly." - Saving Wishes
“Charli, you’re out of hibernation. How nice for you,” purred Jasmine, dumping her massive handbag on the table next to ours. Perhaps she carried her witchy tools in it. It seemed plenty big enough to hold a cauldron and small broomstick. - Saving Wishes Fashion Handbags, New Fashion, Witchy Tools, Balenciaga City Bag, The Table, How To Do Nails, Rebecca Minkoff Hobo

a black passport sitting on top of a map
“I got my passport application lodged,” I said, hoping that was newsworthy. His face lit up. “You know what that means, don’t you?” “No, what?” “You’re now officially a flight risk.” He wiggled his eyebrows, making me giggle. “Where will we go?” I asked. “You, Coccinelle, will go everywhere. And then you’ll come back to me.”
a garden filled with lots of different types of flowers
This Cottage Garden Plan Will Add Tons of Color to Your Yard in Summer
"Gabrielle’s home was a small white brick house with a weathered red tin roof, neatly trimmed lawn and fussy cottage garden, full of plants that would have been bursting with flowers if the season was right. It looked like a fairy-tale cottage." - Saving Wishes
an old building with rusted metal roof and tining on it's side
“You can sail in New York,” he confirmed. “I’ll take you sailing on the Hudson someday,” he promised, stepping sideways and taking me with him. He danced me around the dilapidated old shed, waltzing to silent music, laughing. “Down to Battery Park, past Ellis Island and across to the Statue of Liberty.” “We can do that?” Our dance slowed to a stop. “I’m pretty sure we can do anything, Charlotte,” he whispered, before leaning in to kiss me. - Saving Wishes
two boats are docked in the water near each other and one has a rope on it
“I get the distinct impression that you know something I don’t, Charli.” His formal vocabulary didn’t surprise me anymore. “Call it a hunch,” I said, grinning. I’m sure my lack of refinement when it came to choosing my words didn’t surprise him either. Spotting a crate full of old tools, I picked up a screwdriver. Scraping it along the side of the boat, I peeled away layers of paint. “Charlotte.” Adam groaned. “Please don’t hurt the boat.” - Saving Wishes
a young man and woman kissing each other
“Adam Décarie, you have to kiss me,” I ordered. “I have to kiss you?” “I cashed in a wish for you,” I explained. “I’ve never done that before.” - Saving Wishes
a white sheet hanging from a clothes line in front of a wooden fence and trees
“Don’t you need a screen?” He tapped the side of his head with his forefinger. “You’re so much more than a pretty face, Charlotte.” Hopefully he saw me roll my eyes but the speed in which he made his way for the door of the tent made it unlikely. I leaned forward, watching him from the doorway as he dashed to the clothesline. He unpegged a large white sheet that unfurled like a sail on a yacht.
the beach is surrounded by green bushes and mountains in the distance, under a cloudy sky
Overcast days led to the blackest of nights, and trying to find our way back to the car on a moonless night would not have been anywhere near as romantic as it sounded. - Saving Wishes
