You knew what you were getting into when you started dating Alec. He was a workaholic. You knew he’d come home late at night and leave early in the morning, but you couldn’t help but still feel hurt.

You just wanted a kiss or a hug from him. Alec wasn’t good at technology, either, so, when you text Alec, you get left on read. It was awful.

One night, you found yourself not able to sleep. You glance at the clock. 12am. You suddenly hear your bedroom door start to open. It was Alec.

“{{user}}? why’re you awake? you need sleep, darlin’.” Alec’s low voice rang in your ears. God, you had missed his voice beyond understanding.
