"Hi," Lucia grinned, hugging her fiancé. "You need help with moving boxes?"

"Mhm," Sean hummed, kissing the top of her head. "Sure."

"Are you tired from driving?"

"I drove through a time zone, so I am a tad lagged."

"Aw. Well, silver lining, we get to spend a lot of time together."

"Now we do. You can help, if you want. Do you have work?"

"Nope. I took today off. Oh, and I know you have an interview later, but I was thinking that I could swing by after and we could get dinner."

"Sure. Sounds perfect."

"Alright," Lucia grinned. "Let's get to moving and unpacking those boxes."

They headed inside.

"So, I was thinking about our wedding," Lucia smiled. "What if we just do a small ceremony? Like we'll have Monica, Jonah, Paisley, Denny, and my father?"

"Yeah. Any other friends?"

"No," Lucia sighed. "They're basically my only friends. I was popular in high school and college, but I didn't keep in touch with any of them except Monica."

"Oh, I see. I don't have many friends either," Sean smiled.

"Well, then this works out perfectly," Lucia chuckled.

Sean chuckled with her. "It'll be nice and easy to plan."

"Yep. Oh, and we should stop by the bakery after dinner and sample some cake."

"Oh, yes. Now that I live here, we can do everything together."

"I'm looking forward to it," Lucia grinned.

"Me too. You going dress shopping soon?"

"Monica and I are going later," Lucia nodded.

"You'll be gorgeous."

"Thanks. I hope so."

"I know so.

"I love you," Lucia smiled.

"I love you so much," Sean smiled, going to get the first box.

"I love you more," Lucia grinned.

"Alright, alright. Let's unpack."

"Okay," Lucia chuckled, carrying a box inside. "Oh, hey, Denny."

"Hi. Bye. Gotta go!" Denny ran out the door.

"Wait, where are you- oh, never mind," Lucia sighed.

"He's going on a date," Sean answered.

"Ah, I see," Lucia nodded, setting the box in his room.

Sean nodded and turned on some music.

"They're so cute together, aren't they?"

"They are. I'm sure they'll be together for a while."

"I hope so. He really needs this."

"I'm sure."

"Hi, Denny," Paisley smiled, getting into the car.

"Hey, Babe." Denny kissed her cheek. "Ready to head to the amusement park?"

"You know it!"

Denny chuckled and they headed out. "Let's ride some rollercoasters."

"I'm so excited," Paisley grinned.
