"I couldn't agree more," Claire replied.

Eva leaned over and kissed her softly, not wanting to wake Daisy. "I'm falling in love with you," she whispered, her lips brushing Claire's.

"Me too," Claire whispered.

Daisy meowed in her sleep, interrupting their moment. They both laughed.

"Goodnight," Eva said, smiling.

"Goodnight," Claire replied, leaning over and kissing her again.

Daisy shifted in between them, making Eva laugh. "Looks like we have an adorable chaperone," she teased.

Claire laughed too. "I love her. She's a good girl."

Eva stroked her soft fur. "That she is. I'm so happy she's found a good home. Even if we have a chaperone."

"Well, at least we can kiss, even with her in between us," Claire said. She leaned over and kissed Eva's cheek.

"That's true," Eva agreed, blushing. "Thank you for inviting everyone over tonight. I had so much fun. It was exactly what I needed."

"Me too," Claire replied.

"I hope it's not too much," Eva began, but she didn't get a chance to finish.

"Not at all," Claire assured her. "It was lovely. And it was nice spending time with you and Michael together. Your little family."

"Our little family," Eva said quietly. She wanted to believe it could be true.

"Our little family," Claire echoed, smiling.

"I can't wait for us to have more moments like this," Eva confessed. "Even if it's not a lot right now, we'll take the time together."

"We will," Claire agreed. "It'll be worth it."

"I hope so," Eva said.

"I know so," Claire replied. "It's already been worth it."

Eva smiled, her heart feeling full.

Claire snuggled closer, holding her tight. "You're an amazing person, Eva."

Eva kissed her cheek. "You're the amazing one, Claire. I don't know what I did to deserve you."

"You're just being you," Claire whispered.

Eva smiled and kissed her again. "And, you're being you."

Daisy shifted, her paws moving in her sleep. She stretched her legs out.

"She's such a sweet cat," Claire whispered. "I'm glad I have her."

"And I'm glad she's here," Eva added. "Even if we are being chaperoned."

Claire laughed. "It's okay. We can do this. We can find the time and build a life together."

Eva grinned. "That's the best thing I've heard in a long time."
