Raven found herself counting the days till Thursday, sure it was only three days away but she could not help but get excited at the surprise rowan had planned. She ignored Rowan's laughs at her excitement, she was practically bursting at her seams by Wednesday, and Rowan taking days off from said Wednesday just fanned her excitement.

"Love you look as if you are about to take off," Rowan said to Raven with a chuckle. They were in the kitchen having breakfast before Raven took off for work for the last day before the awaited Thursday.

"I cannot wait to see what you have planned," Raven confessed with a squeal.

"Please do not have very high hopes for it, I would absolutely be crushed if it does not meet your expectations," Rowan advised as he leaned against the kitchen counter watching his wife as she got up to leave.

"I would never!"Raven said in mock offense with her hand on her chest making Rowan roll his eyes at her antics,  "Besides if the surprise goes to shit, I get to spend more days with you alone, and I would like that very much" Raven professed shyly.

Rowan loved just how shy she would always get when she was honest, how she would avoid his eyes or make a joke after saying her feelings. Just as she was doing right now.

"Oh yeah?" Rowan teased.

"Fuck no! Who would want that." Raven sputtered as she walked to leave making Rowan burst out laughing as he followed her to the door where she was putting on her shoes.

Raven took more time than she usually would putting on her shoes, she only stood back up since her face felt as if it was not melting anymore. With a huff, she turned to look at her husband who was holding back his laughter for some reason.

"What?" She snapped out with no malice.

"Nothing!" Rowan said in mock surrender, lifting one hand up while the other held his cup of coffee.

She let out another irritated huff, "Give me my kiss I need to leave."

Rowan could not hold back anymore, he turned away slightly and let out a full-bellied laugh at the sight of his irritated wife demanding a goodbye kiss with a serious face.

She is so fucking adorable, Rowan thought as he peeked back at his wife who was looking at him with a bewildered expression.

"WHAT? WHAT IS IT?" She demanded, searching his face for an answer. 

"You are the light of my fucking life Love," Rowan confessed after his laughter died down.

Raven did not know what to do with that information in the current situation, so before she got too embarrassed to talk she replied, "Of course I am." and hurriedly left the house.

"What about your kiss!" Rowan called out behind her laughing at the speed at which she escaped.

"Keep it I will come for it later!" Raven shouted back as she peeled away in her car.
