Luciana sighed, stepping closer to him. "I know it's frustrating, Oscar. I want to spend more time with you too. But this project... it's important. It's the first one for my business, and I want it to be perfect."
Oscar nodded, but the longing in his eyes remained. "I understand," he said softly. "I just miss you. We've been starting something... good. I don't want us to lose that because we're both so busy."
Luciana smiled, feeling the warmth of his sincerity. She placed her hand on his arm, squeezing gently. "We won't lose it," she reassured him. "I promise. I just need to get this done. Once things settle down, we'll have all the time in the world. But next week... I'm yours."
Oscar let out a small sigh, a half-smile forming. "Alright, next week it is. But don't think I won't hold you to that."
