In the cozy kitchen, Daniel and his niece Isabella were gathered around the counter, surrounded by mixing bowls, flour, sugar, and all the ingredients needed to make cookies.

Daniel, with a playful grin, asked, "Are you ready, Isabella, to become a master cookie chef like your uncle?"

Isabella, a young girl with a determined expression, nodded enthusiastically. "Yes, Uncle Daniel, I'm ready to learn from the best!"

As they started measuring ingredients, Daniel explained, "Now, first, we need two cups of flour. Can you help me pour it into the bowl?"

Isabella carefully scooped flour into the measuring cup, making sure not to spill any. "Like this, Uncle Daniel?"

Daniel nodded and praised her, "Perfect! You're a natural. Now, let's add that to the bowl."

They continued to work together, measuring, mixing, and laughing as they created a delicious batch of cookies. As they spooned out the dough onto baking sheets, Isabella couldn't contain her excitement. "Uncle Daniel, these cookies are going to be so yummy!"

Amber entered the kitchen, her eyes widening at the sight of the flour-covered counter, scattered chocolate chips, and mixing bowls everywhere. She couldn't help but chuckle at the mess they'd created.

"Wow, it looks like you two have been having quite the baking adventure in here," she said with a grin.

Daniel, still wearing an apron and holding a spoon covered in cookie dough, looked at Isabella, who was equally covered in flour, and laughed. "We might have gone a bit overboard, but we're having so much fun, aren't we, Isabella?"

Isabella nodded enthusiastically, her smile infectious. "It's the best, Aunty Amber!"

Amber walked over and gave Isabella a gentle hug. "I can see that. You both did a great job. Just one thing, though – I think it's time for a cleanup operation in here!"

The three of them shared a laugh as they started cleaning up the kitchen together, knowing that the fun they had baking cookies was worth the mess they'd made.

"Love, would you do your Uncle Daniel a huge favour?" Daniel asked across to his niece as she nodded in excitement, preparing herself for what her uncle had in store for her. "Would you mind grabbing the dust pan and brush? It's in the cupboard under the stairs, my love."

As Isabella cheerfully skipped off to find the dustpan and brush, Daniel seized the opportunity to steal a few sweet kisses from Amber. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close.

"Isabella's such a little whirlwind," he whispered, his lips brushing against hers.

Amber smiled, her eyes filled with affection. "Just like her uncle."

Their lips met in a tender kiss, and for a moment, the world around them disappeared. Amber's hands rested on Daniel's chest, and she murmured softly, "I love seeing you with the kids."

"I love seeing you with the kids also," he replied, his eyes locked on hers. "I can't wait to make you my wife."

Their lips connected once more as Daniel slowly backed Amber up towards the kitchen island which stood singular in the middle of the room. Her hands reached back and grabbed onto the side, before they came back in front of her and toyed with Daniel's shirt.
