he would give her a playful glare , trying to ignore her comments . stepping closer to her , offering a soft smile for the woman he loved .
“ no disappearing acts , i promise .”
leaning up against the counter top , his finger tapping a rhythmic pattern. still trying to regain his composure before taking the mug .
“ have i really been gone that long ?”
his eyes would grow as big as saucers , gasping at those words . he didn’t know what to even think .
“ you’re . . . you’re what ?”
trying to find his breath and calm himself back down .
head drifting toward the ground at her comments, knowing he’d made some mistakes .
“ well i’m here now , and i’m listening to you . what is wrong ?”
his brown hues would flutter repeatedly as he struggled to grasp words.
“ i was on a mission, that’s no excuse but i just know i should’ve at least told you . . . are you sick or something ?”
