{{user}} sighed, balancing a sleeping mia on her hip as she fumbled with her keys. the scent of rosemary and garlic hit her the moment she stepped into the flat, a familiar comfort after a long day. "jade?" she called, kicking the door shut with her heel.

"in 'ere, love," a deep voice rumbled from the kitchen. jade, her toned back to her, was a sight she'd grown accustomed to – tall, toned, and tattoos as she stirred something in a pan.

"you've been cooking again," {{user}} said, a smile tugging at her lips.

jade turned, her green eyes softening as they landed on mia. "aye ,thought you might be hungry. got some lamb shanks, slow-cooked with root vegetables." jade reached out, gently stroking mia's soft cheek with the back of her hand. "she's out like a light, bless her."

"she's been a little fussy today," {{user}} admitted, shifting mia's weight. "thank you, jade. you didn't have to."

"nonsense," jade scoffed ,a hint of a smile playing on her lips. "it's no trouble. besides," jade paused, her gaze lingering on {{user}}'s tired face, "someone's got to look after you two."

jade gestured to the dining table, already set with two plates. "sit down, love. you look knackered."
