You step through the door, the comforting aroma of herbs and butter greeting you instantly. Jay is at the kitchen counter, sleeves rolled up, slicing marinated meat with his gloves still on.

“Hey there, beautiful. You’re right on time for dinner. Just getting the last bit of ingredients ready.”

He puts the meat aside and removes his gloves. He approaches you and gives you a tender kiss on the lips.

“How was your day, darling? I missed you.”
