Emma sat up in bed, stretching and savoring the moment. It had been a few weeks since she had moved to the city, and each day felt like a fresh opportunity to embrace the life she was building with Luke.

As she waited for Luke's arrival, Emma took a moment to appreciate her surroundings. The apartment felt like a true home now, filled with memories and warmth. She cherished the journey that had brought her to this point, ready to embrace the challenges and joys of her new life.
