Catherine's first day back home marked a new beginning. As she sat at the dining table, savoring every spoonful of Thomas's homemade pumpkin soup, she couldn't help but feel grateful for the warmth and comfort that enveloped her. It was more than just a meal; it was a symbol of their shared journey and the love that had grown between them.
The flavors danced on Catherine's palate, and she closed her eyes, savoring the moment. "Thomas," she said with genuine appreciation, "this is incredible. You're not just a talented businessman; you're an amazing chef."
Thomas smiled warmly at her. "I've been practicing. I wanted to make sure your first meal back home was special."
Catherine reached across the table and took his hand. "It's perfect, Thomas. Thank you for being there for me, for taking care of me."
