My last three were very depressing but I'm in a better place now, so enjoy!
I lean back in my chair, enjoying the perfect moment. I can hear rain pouring down outside my window, but the kitchen is warm, filled with the smells of cooking.
Garlic and herbs and fresh vegetables from our garden are all cooked together in a big sauté pan, waiting for the rice to finish cooking. Cauliflower and chickpeas are in the oven, coated in spices, roasting away.
The love of my life sits next to me, humming while they run their fingers through my hair.
The dog runs inside, shaking the rain out of his fur. We laugh and I go get his towel, drying him off before he ruins the furniture.
The rice is done. I fill two plates with food while my partner turns on the TV. We cuddle underneath a blanket, enjoying our meal and each other's company.
When we finish eating, we go back to the kitchen. I make tea, and we wash the dishes together, talking and laughing and loving each other.
That night, after they've left and I'm in bed, I think about how lucky I am. Here I am, in my little house with my big dog, my belly full from a delicious meal and my heart full with joy and love.
Tomorrow they will come back. We will go out to the garden in the rain, we will bake bread using their mother's starter, we will make s'mores in the little fireplace.
How did I ever end up here?
