Meaning
This reads as a small domestic scene that values routine, companionship, and private comfort over glamour. It can be taken to mean that love is not only grand declarations, but also the ordinary choreography of caring for someone else, then making space for yourself, even if that means ending the evening with a book and the dogs on the couch.
