Eve held her phone at arm's length, smiling at the screen as Anna's face filled the display. Anna was beaming, her smile as radiant as ever. Despite the miles between them, FaceTime made it feel like Anna was right there with her in the living room, sharing a casual evening together.
"How's the jet-setter life treating you?" Eve asked, reclining into the plush couch. She was still in her business casual clothes, but she had kicked off her heels, enjoying the feel of the soft carpet beneath her feet.
Anna laughed, the sound light and infectious. "It's been amazing! You have no idea. Chris and I went sightseeing all around the city last weekend, and the food! Eve, the food here is out of this world."
Eve couldn't help but smile, feeling the familiar pull of longing whenever she thought about Anna and Chris. Their love was so effortless, so natural.
