"Hey, baby," she was awoken by a gentle kiss on her cheek.
"Were you waiting for me?" she didn't even realize that she fell asleep on the sofa.
She smiled like her heart has not been torn apart, "You're here."
"Of course I am," he felt guilt rack through him. Did she think he won't be coming home to her? Did he give her any reason to doubt his love and loyalty to her?
She tried not to cry, and instead sat up, "Rest for a bit, I'll reheat the food."
Hearing her, and seeing her trying hard not to cry, he gripped her shoulders and lifted her chin, "Stay here for a bit. I missed you so much.
She closed her eyes as he lowered his head to hers, their lips intertwining in a fiery dance. Her tears cascaded down her cheeks as their lips separated to catch their breath.
"Why are you crying, honey?" he felt his nerves jump seeing her like that, she looked defeated, broken.
