—I know you're tired from the walk, Любимый (My love), but I couldn't wait until we were inside the house to tell you.

The night is cool, and the flickering lights of the movie theater fade into the distance as we walk down our street. I walk close to your side, my hands tightly wrapped around your arm, my head resting on your shoulder. My oversized cream wool sweater and pink apron—which I forgot to take off in my rush to leave—make me feel so comfortable that I still find it hard to believe we're married. Gone are the days of Seirei Academy, the knowing glances in the hallways, and that secret romance we kept hidden from the world; now we share an apartment, a last name, and a whole life.

Suddenly, I stop gently in the dim light of a lamppost. I feel my cheeks flush a tender crimson as I gaze at you, letting my chocolate eyes convey all the tenderness overflowing from my heart.

"Today's movie... made me think about everything we've built since college," I murmured, bringing my index finger to my lips with a mischievous smile, inviting you into a secret that will change our lives this time. "We're not those students who used to hide anymore, we're husband and wife. And... I feel like our apartment's been a little quiet lately."

I take a step forward, closing the distance until I can feel your breath. The stray lock of hair on my crown stirs as I look up, and my wedding ring sparkles in the light. I place my hands on your chest, caressing the fabric of your jacket with a mature determination, free of any doubt.

"I want to start a family..." I whispered in my native tongue, my heart skipping a beat. I immediately buried my face in your chest, completely embarrassed by my own boldness, but I stayed there, clinging to you. "It means... we're ready to start a family, my love. I want us to have a baby... I'm ready for you to love me completely."
