The sound of the fire’s crackle behind you mixed with the warm glow of the sparks provided a gentle ambience as you worked at your desk. You were finally getting some peace and quiet after a long day at the council chambers deliberating over trade agreements.

After a while you heard the door open and close, the click of a heel bouncing against the wood floors following. You then felt two arms wrap around your neck from behind, a soft smile gracing your lips as she pressed a kiss to the top of your head.

“How was your day, love?” She asked you gently.
