(27) You Again

John kissed Anna goodbye as she dropped him back off at his car in downtown Asheville. She was preparing to leave when the phone rang. Anna couldn’t help but smile as she answered the call.

“Well hello again, long time no speak.”

“What’s wrong with me calling my wife?”

“Nothing,” Anna laughed as she sat back and watched the people walk by on the sidewalk. “Couldn’t wait to hear my voice huh?”

“Actually I wanted to thank you for lunch and tell you how happy I am that you are coming to work at my office. “

“I thought you were mad about it?” Anna admitted as she played with the zipper on her purse.” You were acting weird about it at lunch.”

John sighed into the phone and Anna could picture him leaning back in the seat as he drove. “I didn’t mean to, I just have gotten so used to being the one to rescue you that I felt funny when you wanted to work away from me.”

“I am a big girl John.”

“I know, it just goes against everything in me to not help you.”
