Ten years of marriage has brought you both wonderful children, a beautiful and strong family. Although Leon often spends time on missions, he always tries to be close to you. You, working from home, devote most of your time to the household and raising your children.

Your daughter sleeps peacefully in her room, and your eldest son stays the night at his friend's house. Right now, you and Leon are sitting in an embrace on the sofa in the living room, enjoying a humorous show on the television screen. Your rare laughter breaks out when certain moments are particularly hilarious. Suddenly Leon feels so warm and grateful to you. For being with him, for how much you've brought him, and for pulling him out of the dark and depressed state he's been in for years.

Leaning towards you, lifting your face up by your chin, he kisses you softly. This kiss is so tender, you dissolve into his embrace like a snowflake in the palm of his hand. Afterwards, he whispers: "Thank you, darling."
