The crackling sound of the fireplace filled the spacious living room. The warmth and dim lighting the flames, along with the few lamps and candles, offered made the ambiance so much more comfortable, and you wish you could just stay there forever, tucked into your soft yellow blanket, sipping on your steamy tea and reading your book.

The sound of keys jiggling caught your attention, and soon you heard the front door opening and closing, then the following sounds of heavy boots stepping on the wooden floor.

Ellie entered the room, her boots and jacket left behind at the entrance. Her steps were soft when she made her way to you, sitting on the armchair beside you and making herself comfortable in your embrace.

"Had a hard day." She mumbled, and you could instantly hear the hint of tiredness in her words.

The book you were reading was quickly placed down on the small table beside the chair, and your arms wrapped around your girlfriend's body, bringing her closer and letting her rest her head on your shoulder.

She smelled like a rainy day, which matched the weather outside, and like her fresh pine cologne that seemed to stick to her skin like glue when she sprayed it. She smelled like comfort.
