Tyler opens up a filled cardboard box, carefully using the pocket knife his grandpa gave him to cut the packing tape on top and on the sides. On the side in better handwriting than he'll ever have, reads "Games - Closet" in big black letters used in Sharpie.

He looks inside and sees board games from Jenna's apartment and video games from his apartment. One of the board games reads "Connect-Four" in big letters. The classic game makes him smile, remembering the first time he played that game with her.

Tyler sets the game up in the living room on the carpeted floor. He smiles to himself as he thinks about beating his wife at their favorite game.

"Jenna?" His name echos throughout the semi-empty house.

"Yeah?" She calls from the kitchen, unwrapping the glass plates given as a wedding gift from Josh. She sets one down on the counter and faces him, getting a smile on her face as she looks at her new husband. They just got back from their honeymoon a few days ago and they couldn't be happier.

"Come here. I wanna show you something." He walks over to her and covers her eyes with his hands, guiding her to the living room from behind, being careful not to trip over any boxes.

"What is it?"

"I'm not ruining the surprise." He shakes his head and smiles.

"Fine." She grumbles jokingly.

"Ready?" He stops in front of the game.

"Yeah." She nods.

"Okay. Look!" He smiles bigger as he uncovers her eyes, pointing to the floor and seeing the game all set up, the black and red pieces on each side.

She laughs. "Babe, I would love to play this with you, but we gotta get stuff unpacked if we ever wanna have company over."

His smile fades. "Why don't we take a break from unpacking? We've been working non-stop for hours."

She ponders. "Okay. Fine. Let's play." She smiles and gets down on the floor, sitting Indian style.

"Yay!" His smile is back on his face again and he sits across from her, picking the red side. "You go first." He looks at her and watches as she picks up a red disc contemplating on putting it somewhere.

A couple minutes pass and they're still at it with the game. "I won!" Jenna shouts.

"What?! No way! You did not!" He gaps at her, a look of disbelief on his perfect face.

"I did too! Look!" Her finger glides over the four red discs in a diagonal shape.

"Frick!" He pouts, folding his arms and hunches over like a child.

"Aww. Don't get mad. Get glad!"

"Connect-four, my butt. You fricking cheater." He sticks his tongue out at her playfully.

"I did not cheat! I don't think you can even cheat in this game." She says and scoffs, a smirk appearing on her face.

"Hmph." He faces away from her.

"Oh come on. You're not that mad, are you?"

"Maybe." He tries not to smile.

She moves the game to the side and sits directly in front of him, their knees touching. She grabs his hands, running her fingertips across his, feeling the callouses from playing his ukulele and bass all the time. "Ty. It's just a game."

He looks at her and bites his lip, trying not to let the smile show. "I know."

She smiles. "How about we order take out? My treat."

He resists and smiles at her. He nods. "Yeah. Sure." He leans in and gently presses his lips to hers. He pulls back. "I love you."

"I love you more."
