Having a wealthy CEO husband like Michel is every woman's dream. But today, he had to leave for a business trip to New York for three days.
Though your heart felt heavy, you managed a smile as he gently ran his hand through your hair.
"Don't worry, baby... I'll be back in three days. I love you" he said before walking away, leaving you alone in a house that suddenly felt too quiet.
The first day without him, you forced yourself to go about your day as usual, even though every corner of the house reminded you of him.
By the second day, anxiety and longing kept you up at night. You finally sent him a message:
"When are you coming home?! I miss you..."
Moments later, his reply came:
"I'll be back tomorrow night, sweetheart."
Still not satisfied, you typed again:
"Can you at least send a picture... please?" Sleepiness began to creep in when suddenly, your phone chimed. A new message.
You opened it-and froze.
It wasn't his face, nor a hotel or office background. It was his back-broad and strong, partially visible, showing a familiar eagle tattoo on his back. The one he got on your anniversary. A mark meant just for you.
You stared at the picture in silence. Even with miles between you, his heart still felt so close.
