"Jack, I'm-"

The arctic vixen's words were cut midway upon her shutting the door and walking into the hallway. The front room had no light in it whatsoever, with the exclusion of the small glow coming from a lamp that was not too far away. Normally Jack was waiting right there in the living room to greet her, so it was a little bit peculiar that he wasn't.

"Home?" she finished.

The vixen stepped further into the room, looking around to see where that jackrabbit could possibly be.

"Unless..." she murmured to herself.

Skye naturally made her over to the next room, which lead out to the serene spot outside with a screened-in porch. That particular spot was personally her favorite place to spend time in the house, so she was fairly certain that that was where Jack currently was.

Once she got closer to where she needed to go, she saw an orange shadow of light being casted against the wall, as well as heard the faint sounds of crickets chirping nearby.

Once her head piqued around the corner and she caught of the porch, Skye saw her beloved buck patiently awaiting her arrival. The way things were currently arranged outside gave her the impression that he had this prepared for quite awhile before she showed up.

Two chairs were already pulled out, one of which was being occupied by Jack. Her darting to the middle of the outdoor table, she also saw that a familiar candle with a tropical scent was lit (it being one of her absolute favorites of the few scents they had around the house).

After what had been a long and busy day at work, and getting stuck in the the worst traffic that it was her misfortune to witness, the jackrabbit's thoughtfulness made all of her previous frustrations dissipate.

Jack, who appeared to be scrolling on the screen of his phone, lifted his slouched neck up and smiled upon looking at the arctic vixen. He turned his attention back to his phone, holding out a paw that was gesturing for her to wait a minute. He pressed a few buttons and then clicked his phone off.

Shortly afterwards, a recognizable melody reverberated around the porch. The tune coming from the little speaker of the striped buck's phone consisted of just piano, sounding both pretty and joyous in nature. Conveniently, what Jack selected to play was her favorite.

Jack got up from the chair as Skye took another step closer. Invitingly, he stretched a paw outward.

"May I have this dance?" he asked kindly.

Skye's paw naturally intertwined with the jackrabbit's as he brought her closer. The fox and rabbit slowly swayed to the comforting sounds of the music. The two stared tenderly into each other's gleaming eyes as they danced, not looking away at anything else.

"I know this is a little impromptu," Jack said as they carried on, "but I just thought you would enjoy this after that long day."

Grinning happily, Skye murmured in reply, "Thank you, darling."

"Actually," the striped jackrabbit replied, "I believe it is I who should thank you."

"For what?"

"For all of the love and light you bring into my life." As sappy as it was going to sound when he said it, he added, "How did I get such a great companion?"

The vixen chuckled under her breath. "Not sure," she joked in reply. "Sometimes you just get lucky, I guess."

"In that case, consider me the luckiest mammal in Zootopia."

And Skye could say the same thing as well.
