You and Emily had been dating for 4 months. Just last week she left to film Mary Poppins Returns in London. You were left all alone in your massive apartment. It felt cold and desolate without the warm presence of Emily. You two weren't living together yet but you practically did. Emily spent almost every night at your apartment.

You had just walked into your apartment after being on the Stephan Colbert show to promote your new film that was coming out next month.

It was around midnight, and all you wanted was the comfort of your girlfriend to hold you until you drifted off to sleep.

You wander down the hall into your room. Your heart skips a beat when you see a sticky note taped to your mirror. You automatically assume someone broke into your apartment and is waiting to murder you, until you approach the note that reads 'surprise' with a smily face next to it.

"huh?"

You say out loud spinning around to see Emily walking out of the bathroom connected to your room.

"Oh my God you're home!"

Your voice breaks as you speak. You jump into Emily's arms and feel your neck getting damp from Emily's tears.

"I missed you so much Y/n, I just had to fly home and see you for the weekend."

Tears escaping the corners of your eyes as well, you wipe her tears with you thumbs holding her close.

"I brought you a present, love."

Emily pulls a small box out of her jacket pocket and hands it to you.

"Oh Em, you didn't have to—."

"No I insist, open it."

You look back down to the rectangle shaped box in your hands and open it slowly.

Inside is a gold necklace with the letter E as a charm in the center.

"This is so you will always have a part of me with you while I am away. I don't want you to think it's because I own you or anything like that."

"Emily I love it so much, and I love you even more."

You both lean into a loving kiss, Emily keeping her hand on your cheek when she pulls back slightly. 

"Can I put it on for you?"

"Of course!"

You turn around lifting your hair as she delicately clasps the necklace around your neck. She gently grabs your shoulders turning you back to face her.

"I am so glad you came home tonight, I missed being in your arms."

Reacting to this statement, Emily wraps you in her arms, lifting you off the ground and spinning you in a circle.

You laugh at her as she sets you down.

That night you sleep soundly, wrapped in the embrace of the woman you love more than life itself.
