Emily woke up to find Robert staring at her adoringly. "Good morning, love," he said, to which she replied, "Good morning, babe."
"How was your night?" Robert asked.
"It was good. How was yours?" Emily responded.
Robert's face lit up as he said, "It was amazing with you by my side." He gently kissed her forehead, and Emily's smile broadened. "You're always so sweet," she said.
Robert's affection continued, "I would do anything for you," as he kissed her lips. Then, he got out of bed, saying, "I'll go prepare the bath."
As Emily sat up, her mind drifted back to her training sessions with Kia. She recalled the intense fabric fight with a beginner opponent, similar to her own skill level, but also the thrill of victory and the fun she had training with Kia. She remembered how she had managed to defeat her opponent, and how it had left her feeling empowered and eager for more. She looked forward to continuing her training with Kia.
