"Are you ready to go?"
She nodded. So I held her hand and we walked out of the surgery hand in hand.
"Serena, couldn't you just say that you do not feel well and come home with me?"
I asked her in the car. She smiled at me and put her palm on my thigh while I was driving.
"I could do that, but how would you explain that to your boss?"
"Oh you don't have to worry about that, my love."
She laughed.
"I don't want you to lose your job because of me."
"I don't care about my job. If I have to lose it even for a minute that I could spend with you, I'm happy to lose it."
She leaned closer and kissed my face.
"It's only a few hours and we'll see each other."
I made a face. When we arrived, I parked the car and turned to her.
"That few hours will be like a lifetime."
"I know."
