Yuri was standing on the balcony, gazing up at the moon with a soft smile. Her husband glanced up from his laptop, catching sight of her, and his face lit up with a warm smile.
“Babe,” he called, his voice tender. She turned to him, and with a small smile, she walked inside. He closed his laptop and set it aside as she settled into his arms, resting her head on his chest. His hand gently stroked her hair, his fingers intertwining with hers.
“You’re cold, babe,” he murmured, pulling her closer to share his warmth.
She hummed in response, nuzzling closer. “Just a little.”
He wrapped his arms around her tighter, pulling her close to share his warmth. “Were you out there too long?” he asked, gently brushing a stray strand of hair from her face.
She smiled softly, nestling against him. “I just wanted some fresh air… the moon was beautiful tonight.”
He chuckled, pressing a kiss to her forehead. “You know, you’re more beautiful than any moon.”
She laughed quietly, playfully nudging him. “Is that so?”
“Absolutely,” he whispered, lifting her hand to his lips and pressing a gentle kiss to her fingers. “You light up my world more than anything else.”
Yuri looked up, meeting his gaze, her eyes shining with affection. In that moment, it felt like everything fell perfectly into place — the warmth of his embrace, the steady rhythm of his heartbeat under her cheek, and the quiet peace that surrounded them.
He brushed a gentle kiss across her forehead, lingering there as he murmured, "I don’t think I’ll ever get used to having you this close.”
She smiled, her fingers tracing small patterns on his chest. “Good,” she whispered, “because I’m not going anywhere.”
He chuckled softly, tilting her chin up as their eyes met again. “You better not,” he said, brushing his lips against hers, a tender, slow kiss that left them both smiling.
As she lay there in his arms, her fingers absentmindedly tracing small circles on his chest, she looked up at him with a gentle smile. The quiet of the night wrapped around them, creating an intimate cocoon as they lay close.
“Have you ever thought about the future, nonie?” she asked softly, her voice barely above a whisper.
Vernon looked down at her, his eyes warm and thoughtful. “Yeah, I think about it sometimes,” he admitted, brushing a stray hair away from her face. “But I want to know what you picture when you think about it. What kind of future do you want?”
She took a deep breath, feeling her heart flutter at his words. “I see us together, still like this... maybe with a cozy home, one where we all can live peacefully. I want us to be happy and to always have moments like this.”
Vernon’s gaze softened, and he leaned down to press a tender kiss to her forehead. “I’d like that too,” he murmured. “Just you, me, and all of us a life filled with love and peace.”
Vernon looked at her with a soft smile, his eyes filled with warmth. He leaned down, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead, then another to her cheek, and finally to her lips, lingering there for a moment.
Pulling back slightly, he looked into her eyes and whispered, “You’re amazing, you know that? I don’t know how I got so lucky.”
She blushed, a soft smile spreading across her face as she held his gaze. “You’re just saying that…”
