THE MORNING SUN PAINTED hues of gold across the city skyline as Shayla and Tom stirred awake, cocooned in the warmth of their shared slumber. The soft hum of the hotel room's air conditioner and the distant city sounds created a tranquil ambiance.
Tom's eyes fluttered open, and he found Shayla beside him, her tousled hair cascading over the pillow. A tender smile graced his lips as he gently brushed a strand away from her face.
"Morning, beautiful," he murmured, his voice carrying the warmth of the dawn.
Shayla stirred, her eyes meeting his with a drowsy yet contented gaze. "Morning," she replied, her voice a soft melody. "Last night feels like a dream."
Tom chuckled, the memories of the proposal and the joyous celebration lingering. "A dream we'll get to live every day," he said, his fingers intertwining with hers.
They lay there for a moment, basking in the afterglow of the night before. Then, as the reality of the day ahead settled in, Shayla turned to Tom. "What do you think our future looks like?" she asked, her eyes searching his for shared dreams.
Tom propped himself up on one elbow, his gaze fixed on Shayla. "I see a life filled with music and laughter. I want us to chase dreams together, face challenges hand in hand, and create a home that echoes with love."
Shayla's eyes sparkled with agreement. "That sounds perfect. And what about family? Do you see little ones running around?"
Tom grinned, picturing a future that included more than just the two of them. "Absolutely. I want to be a dad who embarrasses our kids with dad jokes and supports them in all their endeavors."
Shayla laughed, the sound a melody that resonated with Tom's heart. "I'd love that. And maybe we can have more cats, I may have a husband but I still want to be a crazy cat lady ."
"Definitely," Tom agreed. "A house full of love, laughter, and maybe the occasional cat mischief."
As they continued to discuss their hopes and aspirations, Tom's expression shifted, becoming more thoughtful. "Hey, Shayla, what do you think about meeting my parents?"
Shayla's eyes widened, a mix of surprise and delight coloring her features. "Really? I'd love to!"
Tom beamed, realizing that their journey was not just about their shared present but also about merging the worlds they came from. "Fantastic. I think they'd love you as much as I do."
The prospect of meeting Tom's parents added an extra layer of excitement to their unfolding story. As they embraced the morning light and the promise of a future together, Shayla and Tom found solace in the shared dreams and adventures that awaited them.
