It'd been a tired yet hopeful Sean that'd started trudging back towards home. He'd on instinct walked past the shop, but now he was walking home.

His phone rang, with the special tone set only for Annja's texts. He checked it quickly.

I'm fine. Walking through the front door in about five.

Sent a second later: I love you.

Because he couldn't not say it.

It took her a moment to respond because the relief that moved through her had tears springing to her eyes.

Her hands were shaking slightly when she responded to the text.

I love you, too.

And sure enough, five minutes later Sean was walking through the front door.

A little less than five minutes, really -- he'd broken into a run.

"Annja?"

When she heard Sean come through the door, Annja jumped up from the floor.

"Sean!"

Apologies, Sean. You now have a freaked out Annja tried to wrap around you as much as she can.
