She looks at her phone... and sets it aside. "No. No need."

"Good" he says.

Another pause.

"So, um.... "

"Yes?"

"I'm likely going to get even busier."

"No doubt, though you are allowed to delegate and regulate"

She nods. "I will. I'll have to."

"Then there IS time for us" he says

A deep breath. "If you want there to be."

"Jessica. Do you want me?"

"I feel bad about what its been like. That you were hurt. That our feelings don't match. But I like spending time with you."

He looks at her, "Was that a yes?"

"It's selfish. But yes."

"Jessica, has it occurred to you that' it's not just women who enjoy being desired by people they desire in turn" He takes her hands and pulls her just a bit closer, "You're right. You don't feel about me the way I feel about you. That makes me crazy but... I will take of you what I can, while I can, as often as I can. I will kiss the inside of your wrists and stroke my way up working to the center of your very fine form, Ocean Eyes. I shall run thumbs over the hills and valley of you and make your blood race. I want to taste you again and again."

Jessica's gone purple. "Duff...... " at a loss.

"You know why men love making women blush, Jessica?"

"You've.... You've said. Yes."

"I feel like I'm blushing now....."

"You remember," He says "And you are...." he rises and presses against her, "And that's okay. I've missed you. I'd like to show you how much. " A look to her bedroom, "if you missed me too"

Jessica nods, without hesitation. "I.... yes."

A smile, "Then I get to make good on my ... declaration. " And he and she slip to her bedroom. He knows where to kiss now and then to stir her as they go. She has missed him. It's been a month for both of them and... well... the bedroom door closes. They'll see another movie later.

((MORE than a month.... he was rescuing childling s before that.))
