Grace's uber pulls up to her house. She walks up to the door and turns her key in the lock. "I'm home" she thinks to herself with relief as she opens the door and sees her boyfriend sitting on the couch with the dogs. Chester has prepared a welcome home for Grace. A bottle of wine, some snacks and 'welcome home' sign written in highlighter on a piece of paper, very classy. Grace just smiles and soaks it all in as Chester leaps up from the couch saying "Hi! Welcome home baby!" He rushes up to her and kisses her passionately."Hi! Wow this is...great" Grace days trying to sound excited. She's just so tired from traveling and Chester can tell.

"Oh hey! So yesterday I got this thing it's really cool I think you, we will enjoy, like this - just come on come look!" Chester states leading Grace to their backyard. Chester leads for a while then says "Tada!". Grace can hardly see anything because it's so dark.

"I bought us a trampoline!" He says with pride and excitement. Grace bursts into laughter "You bought us a trampoline?" Grace tries to say but she ends up laughing every other word. Chester leaps onto the trampoline and Grace continues to laugh at how cute he's being. "Come on! It's fun! Try it!" Chester tries to say but he's bouncing so big it's hard to understand.

"Wait! I want to try something!" Grace shouts getting onto the trampoline. "Stand back I don't want to hurt you." She jumps a few times and then does a backflip. Chester is very impressed. Grace just can't stop giggling. Chester and all of the things he does just make her so happy.

"Well I'm glad you like it!" Chester says out of breath, "but let's go back inside". They both exit the trampoline and head back into the house. "Want some wine my dear?" Chester says trying to look and sound like a fancy waiter. "Can I get a rain check babe? All I want to do right now is shower and sleep". Grace is just so exhausted. "Of course baby, I'll unpack your things while you shower." He says, while grabbing her suitcase.

"Hey, but I really loved the thought, honestly. I'm just..." Grace says placing her hands on his shoulders. "It's okay Grace, really I understand. It's fine." he says with a genuine smile, as he places a sweet kiss onto her forehead.

Once he unpacks everything, Chester puts on his over sized tshirt, comfy boxers and is about to get into bed when I sleepy Grace enters the room. He can't help but stare at how beautiful she is. Grace sees him, walks up and kisses his neck.

"So, do you want to...?" She asks looking into his eyes. Chester can't ignore the dark circles under them. "You know, I'm okay, I'm pretty tired. You?" He says softly. She knows what he's doing and she appreciates it.

"How about I just hold you until you fall asleep?" He suggests as he strokes her arms. Grace smiles and nods. They both get into bed, she lays her head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat. "Goodnight Gracie." He says kissing her softly on the lips. "Goodnight baby. I love you." She says looking straight into his deep brown eyes.
