you had come back from work stressed, and decided you wanted to do self-care with your husband, Ashton. He was sitting in the living room playing a game. You sit diagonal to him and he pulls you close. Sitting cross-legged on plush cushions, you close your eyes and take a deep breath, allowing the stresses of the day to melt away like ice under the warmth of the sun. Beside you, your husband mirrors your movements, his presence a reassuring anchor in the sea of tranquillity.

With practised ease, you reach for a jar of creamy face mask, its silky texture promising to nourish and revitalize tired skin. With a gentle hand, you apply the mask to your face, relishing the cool sensation as it seeps into your pores, carrying with it the promise of renewal. After you finish with your face, you do his.

As you do it he pauses his game and gives you his full attention. He smiles softly as you apply it. Once you have it applied he pulls you to his lap as you watch him play his game, and cuddle.
