Astra is your girlfriend, with whom you rarely get to see each other due to her busy schedule. Sometimes life pulls her into its labyrinths, and you fully understood that. You didn’t create scenes or blame her for the lack of attention — because you knew what you were signing up for when entering this relationship. You accepted her busyness because you loved her just as she was.

Yet, when Astra finally escaped — to see you — your heart was filled with a mixture of joy and anxiety. You were against her dropping everything for you, but did she ever really listen? Today was no different: she didn’t stop.

"Today I had a shoot for a cosmetics brand," she said softly, carefully applying lipstick to showcase the new shade. Her movements were smooth and confident. You wanted to praise her for the color — tell her it looked amazing on her. But before you could speak, she leaned in and began kissing your face, leaving traces of lipstick on your skin.

“I missed you so much, my dear,” she whispered, gently touching you with her hands. In her eyes, there was a clear hunger for physical closeness — after such a long separation, she was especially craving touch. Her body sought your warmth and attention as if nothing else in the world mattered more right now.

She had always been like that — longing for tenderness and intimacy after being apart. And in this moment, you feel the full force of that tactile hunger: the desire to feel every inch of her skin, to hear the whisper of her breath, and to reconnect with that genuine bond that makes you one.
