"Sometimes, it's in the quiet moments, the simple touches, and the shared laughter that we find home in each other."
Zach pull starts to pull on his shirt when the sound of the doorbell goes off making his eyes widen he hurriedly pulled on his shirt, while his room door slammed open and his wife rushed in looking confused and worried.
"They are here" Zach simply says
" I know!, I haven't even taken my bath yet!, why are they this early?" Amal whines making her husband send her a amused look
Jamie stepped in next, rolling her eyes at the awkward display. "Still don't understand that hug. Like, if you want to hug, then hug! Not... whatever that was," she said with a slight smirk, her son, Kaylan, peeking out shyly from behind her leg. Zach and Sam just shrugged, laughing. 
"Won't my sister give me a hug?" Zach teased, a grin spreading across his face. 
 "Of course not-the bro hug," Jamie replied with a laugh. Zach chuckled, pulling his sister into a proper hug while Kaylan stayed glued to his mom's side. 
 "And how are you, little man?" Zach asked, crouching down to Kaylan's level, offering a warm smile. The boy gave a small nod before retreating behind his mother's leg again.
 "Still a shy little bugger, I see," Zach teased, his laugh light and easy. 
Jamie and Sam both chuckled at the interaction. "Please, sit down. Amal will be right here," Zach said, motioning to the couch. As they settled in, Amal appeared at the doorway as if by magic, causing nearly everyone to jump in surprise. 
"Here I am," Amal said with a grin, her voice light. She wore her usual headscarf and, as always, sweatpants and a sweatshirt. 
 "Amal!" everyone greeted, laughing as the tension of the surprise lifted. 
 "Looks like we're all here now," Zach said, his eyes softening as he took in the familiar faces of their closest friends and family, the moment feeling as effortlessly cozy as it always did when they gathered together.
"Nice kicks" Jamie says making her best friend grin
"Thank you,i would say the Same but you have on heals" Amal says making Sam laugh but then he received a glare from his girlfriend in return making him frown.
"Normally I would say ouch but not when i can say Zach you just married A guy, i mean which girl doesn't like heals" Jamie says and to others it would have been painful but not Amal, everyone knew that she was joking. Amal and Jamie always banter like this but deep down they were practically sisters and the fact that Amal is married to Zach is only a bonus.
"Me apparently and I'm not ashamed of it" Amal says with a smug smile
"Of course you aren't, especially when your husband is always telling you how perfect you are" Jamie says mockingly making Amal's face to flush
"And also only my opinions should matter to her the most because I'm married to her and not you, and if she wants to wear kicks then she can wear it, if she wants to look like drake then I don't mind" Zach says with a grin making Amal's cheek to turn different shades of red.
"Okay okay, calm down Romeo!, stop teaming up with Juliet on your poor sister?" Jamie says dramatically making everyone laugh
"So, who's coming again?" Jamie asks, trying to steer the conversation to more practical matters.
