Ninety-Six days. That's how long until Henry would return, three whole months and a week. You both knew that this was going to be the longest stretch without being able to see eachother. 

The daily 'good morning, love.' and 'good night, love you loads.' texts weren't enough. The weekly Sunday lunch where you would video chat while you ate lunch in different countries. You stayed at his Florida compound, he was filming in Paris. Kal was also in Paris, that goofy travelling dog. 

You stayed behind working, answering emails, hanging with friends to up your mood. But nothing worked, you still went home to an empty bed. No big loaf of fur at the foot to keep your feet warm. No big loaf of muscle and skin next to you to keep your body warm. You couldn't take it anymore, so you booked a flight. You quit your job, said bye to your friends, packed a bag and left. 

You needed to get to Henry. 

Now here you were, sitting in the back of a cab on your way to surprise Henry at his rental home.

DING

You smiled to yourself as you pulled your phone from your pocket.

FROM : Henry ♡

'Good morning, love. Today is my first off day. I'm gonna hop in the shower and then Kal and I are going to go for a lovely walk, it's beautiful day here. Kal misses his mumma. I miss Kal's mumma also. I hope you slept well. 96 more days until we are back in eachothers arms. Call me when you wake up. I love you loads. xx'

You bit your lip, not replying. 

Soon your cab pulled into the long driveway. Parking at the bottom of the hill. You thanked the driver, paying your tab, before getting out with your luggage and walking up the hill.

You stopped at the doorway, the house was a gorgeous white brick, green vines trailing up the front wall. You knocked on the door, ringing the doorbell after.

A deep set of barks rang through the house, the sound of paws inching towards the door as you stood there. Soon you heard his tagged collar hit the floor, a snort from his nose also. You smiled softly to yourself, shaking your head. Kal may look big and scary, but he wouldn't hurt a fly, let alone somebody knocking on the door. 

You decided you would text Henry back, speed up the process of seeing him. 

TO : Henry ♡

'Good morning to you, Hen. It's raining here in Florida, per usual. I miss Kal and his daddy also. I sent you an order of breakfast, should be at your door right about now your time. I'm going to get a few more hours of rest, it's nearly 4 am here. Video chat when I wake up? Love you tons.'

It wasn't all a complete lie, you did get his favorite breakfast, and it was raining in Florida. You adjusted the bag of food in your hand and knocked on the door again. 

Another bark rung out from Kal, footsteps stomping down the stairs. 

"Coming! C'mon Kal. Mumma sent us some food. Let's eat before our wa-" The door swung open and you smiled, holding the bag of food out.

"Delivery for Mr.Henry William Dalgliesh Cavill." You giggled softly, Henry taking the bag from your hands, setting it to the side and wrapping his arms around you, lifting you up in a hug.

You giggled softly, your arms wrapping around his neck as your legs wrapped around his waist. 

"What are you doing here?" He chuckled, a sigh leaving his lips as he hid his face in my neck, inhaling deeply. Kal jumped around us excitedly, yelps of happiness leaving his mouth. 

"Came to see you. Couldn't stay away from you anymore." You smiled, pulling your head back to look at him. Your hands cupping his cheeks as you placed a kiss on his lips. He smiled into the kiss, before pulling away. 

"But, your job. You said your boss wouldn't let you have the time off." He quizzed, looking at you adoringly. 

"About that." You spoke. You pecked his lips again as he set you down, his hands staying on your hips. 

"I quit." You spoke, "I promise I'll look for another job when I get back home."

"Don't. Stay with me. You don't have to work unless you absolutely want to." Henry spoke, picking up the bag of food. You crouched down to Kal's level, your hands coming up to scratch behind his ears, placing a kiss on his head. You looked up at Henry as you stood back up. 

"Henry. That wasn't how we planned things to go." You spoke, following him inside the home, setting your luggage down by the door. 

"I know. But we can be spontaneous. You can travel with me, neither of us would wake up to an empty bed. We can travel the world, us and Kal." He spoke, leading you to the kitchen, unpacking the food. 

"Is that what you want?" You smiled softly, sitting at a barstool, Kal resting his head on your thigh.

"I would want nothing more." Henry smiled, leaning across the kitchen island, kissing you.
