Lunch Meeting: Roman

I looked down at her with concerned eyes. I already didn't want to tell her what was going on. I didn't want it to be real, and I wanted to just stay there with her in the safety of our home.

It couldn't be avoided, though. As much as I longed to.

"I have to go in for a lunch meeting," I informed her with a frown.

"Oh, that's it?" she asked. Her eyes had a bit of a twinkle in them then. "You worried me. Looked as though someone had died or something."

"I just don't want to leave you so soon," I frowned.

She leaned up and cradled my cheek. "I love you. Life can't stop, though. We have plenty of security here."

"I know," I sighed. I kissed her sweetly. "I'm going to keep my phone on, okay? If anything at all happens, you call me, and I'll be on the way."

"I'll be sure to call and ask which song is best for my run," she winked.

I pecked the tip of her nose. "Eye of the Tiger." 

We shared a laugh, and then I hugged her to me.
