When Aidan had first had a look into his finance a few weeks back, to try and establish if he was at the point of being able to put a down payment on a house, he'd thought about making it a surprise. The idea had been very tempting, but he'd soon realized that this wasn't the kind of thing he wanted to surprise Mandy with - not because he didn't think she would be excited, but because he wanted her to be involved in the process. After all, it would be her house too, and as such it only made sense that she would get to visit places with him and be involved in the decision making. However, he'd decided that just because the house itself couldn't be a surprise, that didn't mean he couldn't make the house hunt itself a surprise. So this morning, when they'd gotten up, he'd asked her if she felt up to going shopping for a bit, not really specifying what for other than a new pair of shoes for him, and possibly a new couch since their old one was starting to be in pretty bad shape. She'd agreed, and so they'd headed out after breakfast and their usual morning routine, stopping at the shoe store first so he could get a new pair for work. With that out of the way, he'd driven off to a slightly more residential area of the city, knowing that now was not the time to actually go into a furniture store, otherwise they wouldn't get out of there until too late, as he'd made an appointment with a realtor to visit a few places. "So, I was thinking," he said as he started driving onto residential streets, nearing the first destination. "Since we were gonna be spending a good part of the day shopping anyway, I might just have something else to add to the list," he went on, slowing the car until it came to a stop in front of a house with a 'for sale' sign on the yard.
