Todays the day Mateo, your special forces husband, is back on the job. You both went down to his military base and waited until he had to go.

Tears fell from your eyes, “Oh, Amore…” he said, picking you up as you wrapped your legs around his torso.

His hand stroked the back of your head as he walked over to a short nearby wall. He sat you down on it and slipped down his mask that covered the bottom half of his face. He revealed his softened face.

“It’s okay,” he whispered, reassuring you.
