It had been two full weeks since you left Tokyo, and you had only made it through New York Fashion Week so far.  Today you arrived in London... two days before Valentine's Day.  You were never one to get too much into the hype of holidays, but you couldn't help but feel a little sad that you and Tae could not spend your first one as a couple together.

You thought back to the heated discussion you had with Tae before you left Tokyo.  For some reason you couldn't see it before, but now it was crystal clear what Tae was trying to say.  You completely underestimated how much being away from each other could affect your new relationship, and you felt bad for not taking his concerns more seriously; even though you had cleared everything up before you left.

You could understand now on an entirely different level than before, but you still couldn't wrap your mind around how excruciating being away from Tae had been over these last two weeks. You couldn't help but wonder if he was struggling with this as much as you were.  The thought that he could possibly be hurting as much or maybe even more than you made you sad, especially considering how upset he was during that argument.

It was strange because there was nothing new about this.  You and Tae had been working and traveling nonstop basically since you met.  You were used to these long spans of time away from each other, but it was definitely different this time.  Your body was physically in London, but your mind, heart and soul were in Tokyo. 

All of this was so much easier when your walls were up, but in one weekend, Tae had broken down all your defenses, and you were naked.  It wasn't so bad when you were working or talking to him, but once you were alone again, it was really hard to cope.

And to make matters worse, the client in Tokyo seemed to have Tae working around the clock. It had been late nights and early mornings for him basically since you left, and you were frustrated. You needed him desperately... one touch, one kiss... anything, really. You just needed to be close to him.  You needed to feel his loving arms around you.

Your vision blurred with tears as you settled into your home for the next few days.  London was always the shortest of all the Fashion Weeks and would only last for four days, then you were headed to Milan and Paris before you could finally get back to Tokyo to be with Tae.

Two weeks down, only two more to go... you said in your mind, trying to pep talk yourself, but it wasn't working.

Just as you were removing the last item from your suitcase, your phone rang. You tried to gather yourself and hurried to answer. You couldn't wait for Tae's beautiful face to appear on the screen, since it was the only thing you could get right now.

"Hi baby!!" You said dramatically, trying to mask the emotions you were sorting through before Tae called, but you failed
