"When are you going back home? I'm tired of coming over to no food because you want to shack up." Danica joked over the phone, lightening up Arya's mood. She's currently getting ready for a dinner at James' house with Ethan's immediate family. Sure she knew a few of them already due to them being former clients of hers, but now she's meeting them all as Ethan's fiancée.
"It's only been a month now, and I am home sometimes."
"I feel like I'm getting a sample of how you'll be married. I'm stealing you tomorrow. A full day just you and I."
"We can do a half a day. I have a meeting with my team in the morning." This was another thing that has Arya a nervous wreck. Tomorrow she's going to be presented with the findings from the investigation. She had been allowing herself to not thing about it the past few weeks and she's even gone back to talking to Amira on a regular basis.
"Well I guess I can compromise yet again. Call me tomorrow when you're leaving the office. I'm about to walk into my mom's house. I love you." Arya returned the gesture and ended the call. She had finished getting ready early and decided to go through her social media while waiting on Ethan. She was surprised to see a picture of herself on Ethan's page.

By now there were plenty of pictures of her and Ethan over the internet. After the first planned photo op where Ethan proposed it became normal seeing pictures of themselves out and about online. Arya hated the unwanted attention it brought, but she learned to ignore it once she noticed the traffic it was bringing her business. Her waiting list was already booked to summer of next year. She had already started looking into hiring five more matchmakers and four more wedding planners so they could start taking on more clients at once.
Arya wasn't the only one noticing the positive impact her and Ethan's relationship was having on business. James noticed how more focused and hardworking Ethan had become over the past month. He was now taking on tasks without asking, initiating meetings with potential clients, and even secured a deal that the company had been working on for over a year. James knew as soon as Ethan was introduced to some stability and structure that it would translate into his work ethic.
