"Yeah!" Emily tilted her head, "You're just too perfect, it puts a lot of pressure on me!"

Emily nodded, "I know you're right, but I still want to do even better."

Charlie said, "Alright, however you want to be, just go for it. As long as it makes you happy, I've got your back, and so does Kya!"

Charlie's eyes shimmered with the night's embrace as he lifted her for a kiss, "Let's head to the side room, we don't want to wake Kya!"

Emily mentioned, "Aren't we waiting for Josiah to bring the barbecue?"

"I'll text him we won't need it!"

Charlie then stood up, carrying Emily towards the side room.
