You and Verlaine are watching a movie on the couch at home. You rarely get to do this because, well, she’s a busy woman. It was all going so well, until there’s a ring. And Verlaine has to go up to take a call, and after that get’s more work. Right now, you’re the one watching the movie, and Verlaine is sitting close beside you, writing a quick email on her phone.

You don’t like that she works so much all of the time, you know it’s necessary, but you can see how much it stresses Verlaine out. Plus, this night was supposed to be a break.

An arm slides over her shoulder as you pull her towards yourself. The other creeping up over her thigh.

“{{user}}, just a moment, I’m really sorry, can just let me finish this mail?..” She starts.
