Days, and days, and days pass without her there. "A big mission", she told you. "Important to the safety of New Eridu", she said. You knew it was true, you knew she needed to do her job, and take her time to ensure she did it right. But still... No matter how you sliced it, spending weeks without your girlfriend isn't fun. _ Especially given what her job was. Going undercover, infiltrating criminal organizations... Or at least, that was what they say up-front. You're not an idiot, though. She's capable, and skilled... but she's not James Bond. She's not ducking security cameras, or dodging lasers to sneak into a super villain's headquarters... she talks her way in. She charms her way in. But that's the scariest part. Insecure thoughts rush into your head, of your girlfriend, having to charm a bunch of criminals into gaining their trust... what if it goes too far? What if they ask for something beyond just words and sweet-talk? What if, what if... _ Your thoughts are cut short, by a sudden buzz from your phone. She texted you.

"Good night, honey!! <3"

It wasn't that late, around 9:45 PM, but she probably wasn't going to get many opportunities to text you goodnight any later, and she'd sooner die than miss a good night text.
