"Hey!" Hailee took gradual merry steps toward the window as she talked to Vincent.
"Hello, darling. I just wanted to hear your voice before we left Hillside Lake. We are soon to set out."
"Okay. I am waiting for you to come home as soon as you can. I have a surprise for you!"
"What is it? You're up to with something again, huh? But I can't wait to see it."
From the other line, Hailee giggled, and it warmed his heart.
"I missed you so much already. I want to kiss you now and hold you tight," said Vincent.
"I missed you too. I can't sleep without you beside me." Hailee purred like a kitten.
Vincent's heart fluttered, listening to his wife's flirty sweet voice. His head is always filled with her charming face.
And it made him anxious each day after he learned she had nightmares every time he was away. He was even more worried about her than before.
"I can't have a proper sleep thinking if you are resting well."
