              Mac was tired, it had been a long couple of days and there didn't seem to be an end in sight.  Still, there was nothing more he was looking forward to then seeing Peyton.  At this point in his life he was almost praying for a concussion so he'd have an excuse to take a week off.  That's what he thought, toyed with, but would never say

Between getting his last email and now, Peyton managed to slip in a short nap, but when she awoke and saw the time, she decided to hop in the shower before Mac arrived.

Just as she got out, she heard the buzzer and smiled softly before hitting the entry button and towel dried her hair until she could hear the knock at her door. After the attack in the lab and now knowing that it was personal, she didn't take any risks, even if Mac was on his way up.

Finally hearing it, she opened the door, giving him a little smile. "You did manage to get away."

"I did." He gave her a return smile and tilted his head to kiss her cheek gently. Stepping inside he shut the door behind him and locked it before toeing off his shoes. He didn't have to say how pleased he was that she hadn't just left the door unlocked.

"How are you feeling?"

Her hand moved to his cheek and she closed her eyes to just enjoy the show of affection. Little moments like these were few and far between but when they did get the chance to spend time, she took the time and commited it all to memory.

Pulling back a bit, she ran a hand through her still damp hair and shrugged a little. "I'm doing fine. The headaches aren't as intense and I'm sleeping the nausea away."

A bit of a frown touched his lips when she mentioned the headaches and the nausea. It disturbed him when anyone was feeling poorly, and even more so when it was Peyton. Wrapping a free arm around her, he pulled her close and kissed her forehead gently.

"I brought soup, you should eat something, if only just to humor me."
