“So…um…I’ll call you later in the week, and we’ll figure out when we can get together.” Leo ran his thumb over my ring, a habit he seemed to have acquired during our short time together. I hooked my pinky with his. “This feels weird, right?”

“My body is saying don’t leave her, but my mind is telling me it’s time to part until next time.”

“And which one is winning?” I knew what was winning in my case. After spending all day yesterday in our hotel room, mostly in bed, the outside world felt strange and wrong at just the thought of being without him.

“It shouldn’t be so hard, but I don’t want to leave you. Maybe as a reward for getting my bedroom unpacked or whichever room has the least number of boxes, I can call you tonight. It’s not the same, but I do have to unpack all my belongings. It’s not much since this is the first time, I’m living on my own in something bigger than a dorm or a studio apartment, but I’ve got a lot of work to do before I have to show up at my actual job in two days.”

“Hey,” I took his hand in both of mine, and smiled up at him, “I get it. You don’t need to explain. I can’t imagine having all my shit moved to another country and being out of town while it happened only to come home from a wedding to end up being married myself. Then you’ve got to unpack and start a new job. It’s crazy and probably overwhelming as well. Please don’t let me be part of the madness.”

“You’re not part of the madness. At least not yet.” He winked at me. “I don’t want you to think I’m ghosting you if you don’t hear from me for a couple of days.”

Canting my head to the side, I smirked up at him. “I thought you were going to call me tonight as your reward for unpacking some.”

“That’s the plan.” He looked over my shoulder and I watched as his shoulders sagged. “That’s my Uber. Are you sure you’ll be okay here until your car comes?”

Leo pulled me into his arms and gave me probably one of the best hugs I’d ever received. My head fit snuggly between his pecs while one arm spanned from the bottom of my back all the way to the top. His other hand cradled my head as if I was something precious.

“I’ll be fine. It’s sweet you’re worried about me, but you really don’t need to,” I muttered into his chest.

He pulled away and my stomach fell in disappointment, thinking he was going to walk away.

Dropping his bag to the ground, Leo swooped in and laid the mother of all kisses on me. The way his lips moved over mine as if he was taking little sips of me until the next time he saw me, had me swaying on my feet when he eventually pulled back and let me go.
