Joshua stood by the window, his back to her, quietly talking on the phone.

Allison padded over, wrapped her arms around him from behind, and rested her cheek against his back.

Joshua ended the call with a quick, "Alright, that's it for now," then turned and pulled Allison into his arms. "You're back."

He laughed, that deep, magnetic sound she loved. "You're just figuring that out?"

"Will you always be this good to me?"

"Of course."

Allison looked up at him, her eyes shining like stars, never looking away from his.

The kiss was deep, hungry, full of longing.
