James' POV

I told Emily that I'd pick her up after work. So, I was eagerly waiting for her outside of her workplace. As the clock struck 5, I spotted her walking towards me with a huge smile on her face. I greeted her with a big smile of my own, bringing her into my arms.

"So, how was your first day of work?" I asked her as we got in the car.

She let out a relieved sigh and looked at me with a grin still on her face. "It went really well! Everyone was so welcoming, and I had a great orientation. I feel like this is the perfect job for me."

I grabbed her hand in mine, giving a gentle kiss on the back of her hand. "That's fantastic to hear. Did you get a chance to meet colleagues and get to know them?"

Emily nodded proudly, "Yeah, I was introduced to my team, and they seem like a great group. Some even invited me to lunch, but I didn't go."

As we drove home, Emily told me about the rest of her day. I loved seeing her this excited about something. It made me feel better, knowing she was happier. "Well, how about when we get home, I make you a nice dinner to celebrate?"

She blushed, fidgeting with her hands, "James, you don't have to do that."

"I want to. Would you like that?" I asked, and she nodded.

Back at the house, I rolled up my sleeves and got started. I skillfully chop vegetables and gather pots and pans. As I move around the kitchen, Emily watched me every second I was in there. As I was getting every detail correct, Emily leaned against the counter next to me. She placed a soft kiss to my cheek, and I looked at her and smiled.

"So, what would you like to drink for tonight? I think I have some wine, sparkling water, and maybe some juice." I asked as I finished up dinner.

Emily pondered for a moment, "How about some sparkling water, please?"

I nodded, reaching for a glass to pour the water in. I poured a glass for Emily and myself. "Here you go, my dear." I gave her the glass while laughing a little. "A toast to your first successful day at work and to many more incredible achievements to come."

We clink our glasses together, in celebration. As we sipped the water, I continued to work on dinner. skillfully orchestrating the flavors and textures that would soon grace our plates. The kitchen began to fill with tantalizing aromas, making our mouths water in anticipation.

"Dinner will be ready soon. Why don't you go take a seat on the couch and pick something to watch. I want you to relax while I do the finishing touches." Emily obliged, settling into the couch.

With our plates in our hands and a tv show on, Gilmore Girls, we settled onto the couch, leaning back into the cushion. Her legs were intertwined with mine while they rested on the coffee table.

"Wow, James! This is absolutely delicious." I made steak, baked potatoes, and carrots with peas. I smiled at Emily.

"I'm glad you're enjoying it, Em. You deserve it. It's moments like this that make me appreciate the simple pleasures in life, especially when they're shared with you." I smiled as I watched her blush at my comment.
