Your POV

It was around 5, and I was cooking dinner for my husband and I, waiting for him to return. I liked having dinner already ready for him because him being a Democratic Republican isn't exactly stress-free. Some days I couldn't tell whether he loved his job or hated it, seeing how much Alexander Hamilton was brought up.

I was just finishing up dinner when I heard the front door open. "(Y/N)! I'm home!" I heard James's voice call. "Welcome home! I'm in the kitchen!" I responded. I heard footsteps behind me and then a pair of arms wrap around my waist. I grinned. James rested his head on my shoulder.

"Tough day?" I asked.

"You have no idea," James mumbled.

I gently moved his head so I could set up our plates. "Tell me all about it, love."

James sighed. "Well, Thomas came back today. That was nice but also a real pain. He's been in France for lord knows how long."

I nodded. "I suppose that is nice. What else happened?"

"Like I told you, Hamilton's new financial plan is just government control... it's left me fighting for the south alone. Thomas hasn't done sh*t yet. I know he just got back today but you'd think he'd make a start on something."

By the time his rant was finished, we were sat at the table. "Sounds like you did a have a stressful day. I'm sure tomorrow will be better."

James nodded. "Hopefully." With that, we ate dinner, making small talk every now and again. When we finished I cleaned up the dishes and James went off to our room.

After I cleaned the dishes, I went to our room, and James was already pulling off the covers to get into bed. "Turning in already, Jem? Was it that bad?"

James nodded. "Yeah... I just want today to be over."

I couldn't help but laugh, changing into my (S/F/C) nightgown. I climbed into bed next to him, and he immediately pulled me closer to him. I giggled, resting my head on his chest. He grabbed one of my hands, intertwining our fingers and resting it on his chest. I smiled and cuddled closer to him.

James mumbled a quiet "I love you" before quickly falling asleep. He wasn't wrong about having a stressful day...

Even though he was asleep, I whispered "I love you too", before eventually falling asleep myself. But before I fell asleep, I swear I faintly saw a smile subconsciously cross his face.
