He rested his hands on her waist, opening her eyes to look at her. "I'm so glad to see you," he told her gently. "I know I keep saying that, but I really missed you like crazy."
He sighed, pulling her closer to him. "Can I tell you something...?" he murmured in between kisses. "Part of what I was frightened about was that if we separated for a month, you would find someone you like better and leave."
