Glancing at his watch for the umteempth time he paced the length of the airport car park. The seconds seem to be crawling by. Clutching the single long stem red rose he strode impatiently to the flights arrival information display. Glancing over he saw that her flight had just landed. Breaking into a smile he felt a shiver of anticipation run down his spine.
The waiting for her to walk out of the airport was excruciating like it always was for him. Finally around 20 minutes later he caught sight of her dark brown curly hair. Restraining himself from running past the airport security into the arrival hall, he waited for her to come out. The moment she emerged into the arrival hall he sprinted towards her. Engulfing her in a bear hug he lifted her off her feet.
“I missed you honey. The past week without you has been a torture for me. I can’t stay away from you for so long.” He said burying his head into her hair.
Laughing she tore herself from the hug and planted a kiss on his lips. Their reunions after each of her frequent business trips were always this exciting and melodramatic. She loved them! They made her remember how much he loved her and genuinely missed her. Accepting her customary rose she slipped her hand into his as they walked towards their parked car.
As they drove home she laid her head on his shoulder, enjoying the familiar feeling of his body. She smiled thinking how even after 3 years of marriage a week of separation still felt like a month. She prayed that this feeling would burn strong 10 years down the road.
