“Let’s go unpack the car. I want a quiet weekend with you,” I told Kjartan after the delicious dinner he made for us.

“A quiet weekend…in bed?” he asked, pulling me into a hug.

“Yes. Although it might not be so quiet after all.”

We both snorted like an old married couple.

When I checked my phone, I had a new message from my best friend.

“Just a second, okay? Rhys texted me.”

Kjartan steered me to the couch and covered my feet with a blanket. Then he bent down to kiss my forehead. “Love you,” he whispered, before he left to grab the first boxes from the car.

“Love you, too.” I swooned after him for a moment, then picked up my phone.

Rhys: I met the dog guy at the fair!

Rhys: Liam

Rhys: I took your advice

He’d sent a grimacing emoji after that.

Bee: OH GODS

Bee: You fucked him?!

Rhys: Yup

Rhys: Well, he fucked me

Bee: tmi much?

Rhys: Just for the sake of accuracy

Rhys: Did you know Brownies have ridges?

Bee: On their candy canes?

Rhys: He’s not a Christmas elf, Bee!

Rhys: But yes

Rhys: You have no idea *sighs*

Bee: I’m so happy for you

Bee: You got a good dicking to help ease the stress

I snorted to myself and snuggled up in my fluffy plaid.I love this couch.It was a little embarrassing how happy a piece of furniture made me.

Rhys: And cuddles

Rhys: I had no idea how great cuddling is

Rhys: Did I mention that Brownies also have hair?

Rhys: LOTS of hair?
