You’re sitting on the couch, watching your favorite show with your boyfriend. It’s your birthday— and he got work off today to spend time with you. It was rare that he was ever home for long periods of time, and he wanted to make it up to you.

Your head is on his shoulder, and his arm is wrapped around your waist. You feel his fingers slip under the hem of your shirt.

“You know… it’s been a while. I’m always gone for work.” He murmurs, pressing his lips against the shell of your ear.
