Shivi woke up to a wet feeling on her hands and face like someone was licking her. She had fallen asleep while watching the northern lights. The last thing she remembered was Josh near her. She forced her eyes open as she slept late looking at the northern lights. When she opened her eyes, she saw tiny furry creatures around her. She feared it might be a dream and rubbed her eyes, but the sensation continued. As her vision cleared, she exclaimed in excitement, "Puppies!"

Josh stood nearby, smiling, and Shivi was surrounded by five husky puppies—two gray, two black, and one brown. She joyfully played with them while Josh watched.

Josh teased her, saying, "No respect for the 6-foot-tall man, all love for the 6-inch-tall puppies. I feel ignored."

Shivi laughed, replying, "Sorry, you can't beat the puppies when it comes to cuteness."

Josh agreed, "hmmm.... That's why we're taking one of these cuties home. So, who are we taking home?"

Shivi hesitated, realizing the responsibility, and said, "No, Josh... They're like babies; they require a lot of work."

Josh moved closer, whispering in her ear, "Let's consider it a trial run with the dog. If we don't kill them, we can plan for babies."

Blushing, Shivi slightly pushed him away, saying, "You talk a lot about babies. Do you love babies that much or is it just the baby making process you are interested in?"

Josh admitted, "I know I'm just 23, but I want to have a kid of my own so badly. Gia was born just a few years back, so I practically helped my mom with Gia a lot. Though we had a nanny for her, the majority of my free time was with her. So yes, I love babies a lot. And I am a pro in the baby making process too."

Shivi rolled her eyes and said, "So smug. So how many do you want?"

Josh grinned and responded, "One... two... five... or however many you can give me. In fact, I have already coined my first daughter's name, 'Miya.'"

Shivi teased, "Michel + Shivya? Uffo, how cringey you are...Sometimes I feel like we have a generation gap."

Josh defended himself, saying, "Babe. I am old school when it comes to certain things. Italians crave just three things: food, passion, and family."

Shivi put her palms on her forehead, wondering if there was no going back from there.

Josh continued, "So decide on the puppy. Maybe you can decide when you're relaxing in the spa. By the way, we have an appointment in half an hour."

"Oh!! I don't have any other warm clothes."

Josh gave a meaningful smile, "Didn't I tell you yesterday that I've got it covered? Check the cupboard. And do not hate me if I've gone overboard. Forgive me this time as I already made a purchase yesterday before you disciplined me."

Shivi chuckled at the word "disciplined." She tried to control her laughter and look annoyed, but his expression, with wide eyes and a slightly scared look, made it impossible for her to do so.

Shivi's winter ensemble combined style and warmth, ensuring comfort as she walked through the snowy wonderland. She wore a knee-length, insulated parka in a deep Aurora Blue hue, complemented by Snowflake White faux fur trim on the hood and cuffs. Underneath, she donned a cozy Snow-White turtleneck sweater paired with thermal leggings. Sturdy, waterproof knee-high boots kept her feet warm and dry, while insulated gloves and a matching beanie completed the outfit.

Shivi walked out of the bathroom, and Josh was in awe. He put his clenched fist to his mouth as if he were in wonder.

Shivi playfully remarked, "Isn't it part of your MO to compliment me when I wear a new dress?"
