Last night, Hugo held me in his arms as if there was no tomorrow. Even though we barely had sleep because he said he couldn't stop, I was pleased. I liked it. All our shared nights together were exhausting, but also something I enjoyed and loved.
"Take care, Hugh." I smiled, cupping his cheek gently while standing on my toes.
Hugo let out a shallow sigh, clicking his tongue lightly. "I will come back as soon as we finished the inspection. Just tell me to stay and I'll send Ivo to lead the inspection."
"Hugh." I chuckled, watching him hold my hand, pressing his cheek against my palm. "You've been gone for so long, so it's better if your people see you themselves. Also, it's only for five days. It's not like you're going to war that will last for five years."
"But I feel like five days is five years."
