The light of dawn seeped into Ella's room, and she rubbed her bleary eyes. She sprawled in her soft and warm bed feeling so blissful. She twisted a little, stood up, and walked to the window. There was a pearly glow in the sky which made her feel tranquil within.
A gentle knock on the door startled her and she walked over to see who it was.
"Good morning gorgeous, hope you had a lovely night's rest." Leon walked up to her and kissed her gently on her forehead.
"Good morning," Ella smiled. "I can see you're up and ready to go out." She wiped an invisible speck off his blue well-tailored three-piece suit.
"Yes, as a matter of fact, I have to be at the airport in...' he glanced at his Rolex designer wristwatch, "twenty minutes."
"I'll be away for three days, but I'll keep in touch. I just wanted to see your beautiful face before I leave." Leon stroked her cheeks tenderly. "I hope you won't miss me that long?" He half smiled and stared into her eyes affectionately.
