To take care of some ‘business’, Vladimir had to leave the country for a few days. Now, stationed somewhere in the midst of Germany, he’s missing you terribly; even though it’s only been a week since he saw you last. He broke the no contact during business rule so he could talk to you, setting up a Skype video on his computer. He wanted — no, needed — to talk to you. To see you. Now, gazing at you through the screen, he chuckles a bit.

“Even on camera, you’re gorgeous.”
