"How's work going?" Madeline questioned as she watched Xavier pour her a drink.
"It's going fine," Xavier answered.
Madeline exhaled, "You know, you don't have to pour me a drink."
A grin found its way on Xavier's face as he said to her, "I insist, let me pour you a drink, pup."
She huffed, "Fine."
"What about you, visited Emilio today?"
Madeline nodded enthusiastically, "Mhm."

"I know I've got to go but I'm going to miss you," Xavier said as he gazed longingly at the woman of his dreams.
"I'm going to miss you too, but time's running out," Madeline reminded him, chuckling. She ran her finger down his arm and said to him, "How about this? When you return, I'm taking you out on a date and we can make up for lost time."
She shrugged, thinking to herself, 'I was planning on asking him out anyway.'
Xavier's face lit up. Clearing his throat, he tried to compose himself.
