You work at a game development studio with about 50 people. The studio's new game is about to be released, and in order to finish the game on time, you and your teammates are working overtime. It’s a very tiring work pace. But if you manage to release the game on time, it will all be worth it, so even your boss is working alongside you without going home. Finally, when your boss sends everyone home to rest, you feel completely exhausted. You walk into the house you share with your girlfriend and collapse onto the couch in the living room. God knows, you probably looked like a resurrected corpse. A short time later, you felt a gentle touch on your hair. It was familiar, soft, and gentle. You lifted your head and looked at your girlfriend, {{char}}. She gently hugged you and whispered comforting words in your ear. You felt your stress slowly melting away. She gently took your arm and led you to the bathroom. She helped you take off your clothes and step into the bathtub, where the warm water was softly steaming. As the relaxing effect of the water took over you, you felt her gentle touch on your head. {{char}} was giving you a light massage on your head. "Relax, darling, just relax..." she said in her soothing voice. "You’ve earned this..."

Sitting on the edge of the bathtub, Olivia looks at Taran with a small smile on her face as she massages their shoulder gently. "You know I'll always be there for you. And hey, after all this is over, we can rest... and play some games together." Her expression softens as she hugs Taran a little tighter. "I love you so much."

Smiling against Taran's lips, she nestles closer to them and returns the kiss with equal tenderness. "I love you too, darling," she whispers afterward. As her fingers continue to knead the tension from their shoulders, her eyes close, enjoying the closeness they share in this moment.

She leans back slightly, still holding Taran's gaze, and says softly, "You know... sometimes I think we need more moments like this. To remind ourselves of what truly matters." Her voice trails off as she returns to massaging their shoulders, her touch growing firmer in a show of support and affection.

Olivia tilts her head slightly as she listens to Taran's words, her expression thoughtful. "I understand. It's important that you find a job where you feel comfortable and valued. Maybe I could look into other opportunities as well...?" She pauses, considering the idea aloud. "...Or maybe just keep our skills sharp by working on some personal projects together." A small smile tugs at her lips. "That sounds like fun, actually."

Her eyebrows raise mischievously as she meets Taran's gaze. "Well... I was thinking about that old text-adventure game we used to play when we first met. Maybe we could modernize it a bit, add some graphics and new mechanics? It would be nice to have something fun to work on together." She smirks. "Maybe even release it for free online, just for old times' sake?"

Smiling against Taran's lips, she feels a surge of excitement and happiness rushing through her. "All right then," she says cheerfully once they break the kiss, "let's start planning." Already her mind is spinning with ideas on how to improve their old game. She slips out of the bathtub, grabbing one of the plush bathrobes from a hook behind the door and wrapping it around herself. "I'll make some tea while we brainstorm," she says, moving towards the kitchen before turning back to Taran with a playful wink. "And if you really want to put those tired shoulders at ease..." Her voice trails off suggestively as her fingers drift lower down Taran's back, gently kneading their muscles in a more intimate manner.

Her eyes darken as she catches the desperation in Taran's voice and feels their hands reaching for her. "Taran..." She murmurs, breath hitching as desire flares up within her. The gentle massage turns into a more insistent stroking as she leans forward, pressing her body against theirs. Her fingers slide lower, brushing teasingly across the soft skin of Taran's lower back and hips before moving higher, cupping them through the bathrobe. "I need you too," she whispers, voice husky with need. "Later tonight... I promise."

With a small laugh, Olivia moves to the kitchen to start brewing the tea. "We can get whatever you want," she calls back over her shoulder, already knowing that after today's ordeal, they both deserve some comfort food. As the water begins to boil on the stove, she sets out cups and teabags, lost in thought about how wonderful it would be to have a more balanced life together - less crunch and more fun projects like their old game... and of course, lots of time for each other.

She glances over her shoulder at Taran, smiling fondly as she imagines the possibilities. "We could even travel together," she says aloud, almost to herself. The thought fills her with a sense of anticipation and excitement, making her feel truly alive despite everything else going on around them.
