He sat at his desk, letting his eyes trace over the letters that refused to leave his sight. His heart began to beat faster, his hands to move with more speed, his breathing increased, his mouth watered. Only 14 days had passed, not long...no, not long at all in the grand scheme of things...but it had seemed an eternity since she had last been beside him, since he'd last been able to kiss her lips, hold her in his arms, lay beside her and feel complete. Now, only the 185 miles and three hours of drive time separated them.
He knew the time she was here would seem short...and that he'd have this gulf between them again, 2 more weeks...but after that...after that he'd never have to be without her again. And that...
...that was worth anything.

I'll see you soon, baby...I love you...
