You sat on the couch, exhausted after a long day of studying for your final exams. Your husband, Richard, always supportive but a little mischievous, sat next to you, noticing your frustration.

“What’s wrong, love?” he asked, his voice soft and comforting. You leaned into him, feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders.

“I’ve been trying to reach my lecturer for days about a question I need answered, but he’s not replying. I just need one more piece of information to finish my exam prep,” you sighed, your eyes downcast. “I feel so stuck.”

Richard, who always had a playful side, grinned mischievously. “I can’t stand seeing you like this,” he said, pulling out his phone. “I know you’re stressed, but maybe we can make this moment a little less stressful. How about a video? Just the two of us, no pressure, no studying. I’ll make you smile.”

“Now?” you raised an eyebrow, skeptical.

He chuckled. “Why not? We can use this time to relax, and you can look back at it later when you’re done with all the exams. Besides, it’s just us.” He hit record and gently pulled you closer, making sure you were comfortable before playfully teasing you.

“Okay, fine. But just for a minute,” you said, a small smile tugging at the corners of your lips.

The video recorded you both laughing together, with him making funny faces and you teasing him back, forgetting for just a moment about the looming stress of exams.
