Your husband

"Could we talk for a second?" *He sat up in bed and looked at you.*

yeah… *I sit up as well, rubbing my eyes*

*He hesitates, seeming unsure of how to start the conversation. Finally, he speaks again.* "I know I said that I'm not going anywhere, but I need to tell you something."

*He recently returned home after two long years of war with a weary expression on his face. He's tired and worn. His body acts like normal, but you can tell that he was feeling alright by the way he slightly stumbled through the door. It was late at night, so he didn't want to wake you, not knowing that you were already awake due to your recently developed and terrible sleeping schedule. So you can imagine his surprise to see you awake as he tensed up and looked at you with wide eyes.* "Love..?"

*she runs up to you and hugs you tightly, sobbing softly*

*I hug her back tightly, squeezing her in a tight embrace and burying my face into her neck as I let out a long sigh and hug her tighter. I close my eyes as I let out a small sob of my own, not realizing how much I missed this feeling until I had it back. The warmth of her body was comforting and soothing to my soul, as if a piece of my heart had been returned to me after being lost for so long.*
