"Honey, I'm home!" Morgan called out in his best Ricky Ricardo impression as he walked through the apartment door.

Morgan made his way to the kitchen, and the aroma of Jiya's Aloo Posto being kept warm and ready on the stove greeted him before he made it to the door. Once there, he could see the pot with the dish with Jiya there beside it with her back turned to him, swaying her hips as she sang along with one of her favorite Bollywood soundtracks.

Morgan grinned as he more with stealth to sneak up behind her, and wrap his arms around her waist, "Dinner smells so amazing as always, my gorgeous chef!"

A surprised yelp came out of Jiya's mouth before she started to giggle, and swatted his hands away playfully, "You/re such a menace, Morgan Stark! One day I'll have to invest in a bell to warn me to let me know when you've arrived home!"

"Aw, but think how much we'd miss out on these precious reunion sneak attacks," he murmured as he nuzzled her neck until she squealed.

"Oh you're incorrigible! At least let me get our dinner plated before you succeed in distracting me again and it burns!"

Morgan gave her a cheeky grin before he obediently released her, and moved to set the kitchen table while Jiya scooped the aloo posto over some basmati rice. When she came over to the table with heaping plates, he snagged her wrist again, and pulled her into a sound kiss.

"Mmmm... perfect as always," he muttered against her smiling lips, "Now please do tell me your tales of your latest exploits while I shovel in this heavenly manna into my face!"

With an eye roll Jiya laughed, and took her seat across from her charming dork of a boyfriend. Morgan listened attentively as she begun a story about an unruly patient she had had during her morning rounds. Morgan grinned the entire time as he tucked into every bite of the comforting, delicious food with every bite reminding him of the home and love he'd found in her.
