The evening air was filled with anticipation as Y/N moved quietly around the kitchen, preparing a special surprise for Scott. She had planned this intimate candlelit dinner for weeks, wanting to create a romantic atmosphere that he would never forget. As she set the table with care, she felt her heart race with excitement.

Soft music floated through the air, adding to the cozy ambiance she was trying to create. Y/N lit candles of varying heights, placing them strategically around the table, their flickering flames casting a warm, inviting glow. She added a small vase of fresh flowers, knowing Scott would appreciate the thoughtful touch.

When everything was set, she stepped back to admire her handiwork. The dim lighting and aromatic dishes gave the room a magical feel, and she couldn't wait for Scott to see it.

As if on cue, she heard the sound of the front door opening. Y/N quickly dashed to the living room to greet him, her heart racing.

"Hey, Y/N! I'm back!" Scott called, his voice bright and cheerful.

"Welcome home!" she replied, trying to hide her excitement. "I have a surprise for you."

Scott raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "A surprise? What is it?"

"Just come and see," she said, leading him into the dining room.

When Scott stepped inside, his eyes widened in awe at the sight before him. The flickering candlelight danced across his face, and the aroma of the carefully prepared meal filled the air.

"Wow, Y/N! This is amazing!" he exclaimed, a genuine smile spreading across his face. "You did all this?"

"I wanted to do something special for us," she said, feeling warmth spread through her at his reaction.

They settled down to enjoy the meal, engaging in light conversation as they savored each dish. The food was delicious, but the atmosphere made everything taste even better. With the soft music playing and the flickering candles surrounding them, it felt like they were in their own little world.

After finishing dinner, Y/N cleared the table while Scott helped by collecting the dishes. As they moved around each other, their hands brushed, sending sparks of electricity through her. She felt a flutter in her chest, knowing the night was far from over.

With everything cleaned up, Y/N turned to Scott, her eyes shining with excitement. "How about we dance?"

"Dance? Here?" he asked, glancing around, a hint of surprise in his voice.

"Why not?" she replied, smiling. "We can make this night even more special."

Scott took her hand, leading her back to the living room where they cleared a small space in the center. Y/N found the perfect song on the playlist, and as the gentle melody filled the air, they moved closer to each other.

As they swayed together, the world around them faded away. Y/N rested her head against Scott's shoulder, feeling his warmth envelop her. He held her close, their bodies moving in perfect harmony to the rhythm of the music.

"Y/N," Scott said softly, breaking the comfortable silence. "This is incredible. Thank you for doing this."

She looked up at him, their eyes locking. "I just wanted to create a moment for us. Something we could always remember."

"And it's perfect," he replied, his gaze deepening. "You're perfect."

In that intimate moment, the words hung in the air between them, filled with unspoken promises and feelings. Y/N could feel her heart swell at the sincerity in his eyes.

As the song continued, they lost themselves in each other, the warmth of the candlelight surrounding them like a protective cocoon. Time seemed to slow down, and in that space, nothing else mattered. It was just them, wrapped up in their love.

When the song came to an end, they remained in each other's arms, reluctant to break the spell. Scott leaned down, brushing a gentle kiss against her forehead.

"Let's always have moments like this," he whispered.

"Absolutely," she replied, her heart full. "Always."
