I sat in my husband Erik's Lap as we sat on the couch sofa in the living room, rocking back and forth. I sat quietly reading a book and he sat humming gently with his eyes closed as he played with my hair. One of His long legs rocks us slowly and the other sat on the couch arm. I sat sideways as well,with both my legs next to his one on the couch arm. The Sun shone in beautifully making us a golden color.

Erik had taken his mask off since I had practically begged him to. The peaceful look on his face filled me with pride. It wasn't all the time that he was this peaceful, and it brought me joy that I aided in that.

"What are you looking at hmm?" Erik says with his eyes still closed. I gasp slightly at his accusation.

"What makes you think I'm looking at you?" I ask innocently.

A light smile adorns his face before he speaks, "I just...know. I feel a little bit more loved when you do." He states all this with his eyes closed and his hand still running through my hair. I pout at him setting my book down to cross my arms. He chuckles before Tsking me to stop pouting at him. I whine at him being able to tell what I'm doing without looking again. He now laughs louder before finally opening his eyes and kissing me sweetly.

"Erik are you more calm now than you were in your childhood and stuff?" I ask quietly. I hated to remind him, but I needed to know that he's better now. I would be absolutely crushed if he wasn't.

"More than calm my darling. I am the happiest most content man in the entire world. You are possibly the best thing to ever happen to me sweetheart. I would go through everything in my childhood all over again if it means I can have you just like this for the rest of my life. It would be all worth it for moments of peace just like these." He says. I smile almost crying at his declaration that more than answered my question.

"Sometimes I worry I'm not doing a good enough job as your wife." I say slightly embarrassed.

He stops and looks down at me in pure shock. His confused face makes me feel silly for thinking such a thing to begin with. "Then I must not be saying I appreciate you enough. You are a phenomenal wife baby. Everything you do is for this marriage. You love our "us" and I do too. You keep your cool when I lose mine. You make me a better man. Don't ever doubt your ability as my wife, ever."

I nodded emotionally, "I love you." I said snuggling him.

"I love you too my darling." He says kissing me sweetly. I continue to read out loud to him, enjoying our peaceful day.
