Parting

"Promise me that you go back home and rest." Adam demanded to her. There was no way that he would trust her for taking care of herself. After their last night's activities, which continued even after they had returned to their home and lasted almost throughout the night, she definitely needed some rest. "And since I won't be here for the next few days, you don't need to go to the office. Just stay back at home and enjoy your vacation." 

"How am I supposed to enjoy without you?" Stella pursed her lips in a sad smile as she leaned her head against his. 

"Well, you can give me a call whenever you want to. It will be a first time experience for both of us." He tried to coax her. Her wouldn't be able to bring himself to leave if she continued to be this sad. Even the mere thought of her being sad in his absence was making him sad. 

He had made some early mornings calls after arriving at the airport, just to make sure that she wouldn't feel too lonely without him.
