I step off the plane and immediately I see him. One of the tallest ones there and about excited as a small puppy. He's standing right beside the gate and I run, as fast as I can with my heels on and bags in my hand over to him. He smiles and and waves as I get near. I laugh at how ridiculously excited he is, but as soon as I near him I drop my bags and run into his arms. He had promised me a big hug when I got there and he wasn't kidding. His warm embrace comforted me in every way. I was so glad to be back home where I belonged. He laughs and says in an unexpectedly deeper voice than I remembered "I take it you enjoy this since you're not pulling away." When I reply I'm talking almost into his ear "Nope, you're just comfortable and I'm tired from that plane." I replied sarcastically. We pull away from each other in due time. "Hi." I said, looking into his eyes. "Hi 😏" he replies in a mock sexy voice. I hit him on the arm and we laugh. I get my bags and we start walking towards his car, his arm snugly around me. This. This is how it should be. This is how it should have always been.
