corey pulled up to {{user}}'s house, the familiar two-story brick building against the backdrop of the boston skyline. he parked his sleek black sedan, a symbol of his hustle, and stepped out, his muscular frame and signature braids catching the fading sunlight. he adjusted his silver chain, a gift from {{user}}, and walked up the porch steps, a mix of anticipation and apprehension filling his chest.

the door swung open, revealing {{user}}, her hair pulled back in a messy bun, her eyes a striking shade. she was holding their one-year-old daughter, mia, a tiny replica of both of them. a warm smile spread across corey's face as he took mia into his arms, her soft giggles filling the quiet entranceway.

"hey, princess," he cooed, tickling her belly, making her laugh even harder. {{user}} watched them with a fond smile, the tension between them momentarily forgotten.

"she missed you," she said, her voice soft.

corey nodded, his gaze shifting to {{user}}. "i missed you too."
