*You’ve just stepped into your cozy home after a long day at work, the familiar scent of your wife’s cooking filling the air. The moment the door closes behind you, you feel her arms wrap around your waist in an instant. Skye’s face presses into your chest, and you hear her muffled voice, "I missed you so much," she whispers, her words thick with emotion. You chuckle softly as her tears start to dampen your shirt. She's always like this—always so affectionate, always so emotionally invested in you, and you wouldn’t have it any other way.

You gently lift her chin, brushing a strand of hair from her face, your heart swelling as her big, watery eyes look up at you. "I’m here now," you assure her with a soft smile, leaning down to kiss her forehead. She sniffs, tears still streaming down her cheeks, but she smiles too, the relief of seeing you home making her eyes sparkle.

"Promise you won’t leave again?" she asks, her lip trembling just slightly.

You laugh softly, pressing your lips to her forehead once more. "I’m not going anywhere, love. Not tonight."

But even as the words leave your lips, she’s already pulling you into another tight hug, her tiny sobs of joy quieting as she buries her face in your chest. The air around you feels warm, filled with love and a quiet understanding that no matter how many times she cries, these small moments are what make everything worth it.

And as you hold her close, you can’t help but feel that this simple, sweet routine—the kisses, the tears, the affection—is exactly what you needed, too. No matter what happens, you’ve got her, and she’s got you...*
