They go out and have dinner at Jen's favorite restaurant around. Later, Colin decides to take her dancing. She orders a couple drinks so they can have a little bit of fun—just a few glasses of red wine. He takes her home after; he'd had less alcohol than her. She's exhausted and nearly falling asleep on their way there. Once they're home, he gets her to change really quickly before she collapses on the bed. He undresses, puts on a simple t-shirt to accompany his boxers and joins her. "You were amazing tonight," he whispers by her ear, as she nearly falls asleep. He's recalling her dancing, how she moved across the floor as her hips swayed under his hands.
She smiles, still awake, "We should do that more often..."
"We should..." he agrees before kissing her forehead, “I love you. Sweet dreams.”
"I love you too, babe," she whispers before falling asleep.

The next morning, Jennifer wakes and Colin’s not there. Instead, he’s made breakfast for her. Although they have to be on set today, it’s not until noon.
Jen gets a call a couple minutes after she wakes. Caller ID says: Julie. Jen instantly smiles and picks up the phone and says, "Hey you!"
"Jen," Julia responds. "Hey! Mom and I are gonna be in town tomorrow, are you filming?"
Jen's smile widens, "Nope. Wanna meet for dinner?" They quickly make plans to meet the following evening and hang up after. Jen gets up, happy and ready to start the day.
Colin is already downstairs and dressed. He’s setting the table and serving their coffees.
She comes bouncing down the stairs, making a ton of noise, obviously radiating with excitement. "Morning baby,” she says cheerfully as she slides into one of the stools on the breakfast bar.
He smiles and kisses her cheek. "Morning my love. What's got you in such a good mood?" he asks.
"Julie and mom are coming tomorrow. Wanna come with me to dinner with them?" she asks her smile still as wide.
He pecks her lips softly before putting her food in front of her. "I wouldn't miss it for the world."
"Thank you," she puts her hand under his chin and claims his lips once more. "I love you!" she gives him a soft kiss and turns her attention at the food in front of her.
He says it back and sits next to her before starting to eat.
Once they’ve eaten, Jen goes upstairs to get ready. "Gotta be at set so early today," she says as she comes down the stair and puts on her coat.
"I thought we had to be there at noon? Did it change?"
"I got an early call, love," she responds. "I'll be in my trailer for lunch at noon. Come find me?" she pecks his lips as she grabs her bag.
He smiles and hands her a beanie, "Will do."
"Thank you," she takes it and puts it on, "See you later then." She turns and opens the door. She drives to work, not being able to stop at Starbucks. Once she's there, they quickly get her into hair and makeup for today's filming.
When it's noon, Colin's arrives and walks up to Jens trailer right away, knocking with his right hand while hiding her Starbucks behind his back with his left.
She knows it's him. She giddily goes to open the door. "Come in, baby," she says
He smiles and comes in, closing the door behind him, Starbucks behind his back still. "How you doing?"
"I've been well," she says, walking to her makeup table. "Starbucks?" she grins and looks back to him, biting her lip.
He chuckles and hands the cup to her. "Starbucks," he confirms.
