Of course she was disappointed. She was his wife, and he was just going to leave without saying goodbye? And he was always at workβ¦ She knew he had a lot to do, but he was rarely ever home these days. And it hurt. Not that she wanted him to know that. She would keep those thoughts from him the best she could, if only to not see the pain in his eyes when he read themβ¦
βDid you eat breakfast?β she asked softly, watching him as he moved.
βNo,β was his soft reply as he carefully kept his gaze away from her and concentrated on the bag in front of him. He was swiftly repacking papers he had gotten out the previous night to look over and revise for Neo. He clipped it shut and gently grabbed the black leather bag, rubbing his feet together before he put on socks and shoes, just to give himself something to do in the awkward atmosphere of their room.
βYou should eat, love,β Alison pressed, keeping her voice gentle. βPlease.β
βItβs fine. Really.β He finished tying on his shoes, which he would probably take off later and forget about, and stood slowly back to his feet. βI have to go, now, anyway.β
βMetaphoricalβ¦β Alison started before closing her mouth and shaking her head. βNever mind. Justβ¦ I love you, okay?β
M shook the hair over his ears as a vain attempt to try and mask out her disappointed thoughts.
βLove you too.β
Alison gave him a small smile and held her arms out to him. βAre you going to give your wife a goodbye hug?β
M sighed softly at the wall and nodded, turning and trudging over, being down into her arms. He administered a ing kiss to her cheek.
(βa ing kissβ?)
Alison wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly, resting her forehead against his chest. βPlease try to get home today,β she asked softly.
(I canβt see.
I apologize)
M set his bag down and hugged her back meekly around the waist, sighing softly. βIβll try my best,β He murmured back.
(M sighed softly at the wall and nodded, turning and trudging over, being down into her arms. He administered a ing kiss to her cheek.)
βOkay. Thank you, M,β Alison murmured before kissing his cheeks gently and pulling away. βLet me know when you get there?β
(No I mean I canβt see what Iβm typing.)
M straightened up as she pulled away, dropping his gaze to the bed. βYeah. Iβll call you.β
(Oh⦠Why not�)
βGood,β Alison sighed, nodding slowly. βIβll look forward to itβ¦β
(My keyboard covers the text box.)
M nodded a little and he started to shuffle out of the room. ββBye. Love you.β
(Weirdβ¦)
βLove you, too,β Alison said softly, yawning as she buried herself back under the covers.
(Yeah. Skip?)
(Sure. To when?)
(Hmmm depends. Erissssssss?)
(Hmmmm?)
(Are you up for some Jericho and M?)
(Sure sure)
(Well wow letβs do it then
Great to know youβre up to it
Good to see you back friendo)
(I'm trying. My brain still feels like mush when it comes to writing so we shall see what comes out.)
(oof
If you just want me to skip and Autumn and I continue we can do that insteadβ¦)
(Emi just do what you will. I'll keep up.)
