She waved. I nodded. A moment later, we were in the limousine we’d rented and on our way to our hotel in Upstate New York.
On the ride, we kissed and like two kids on prom night. I pulled back after a few minutes, staring into her eyes.
“I told you it would all work out,” I said.
“Don’t think I ever doubted you.” She paused. “Well, maybe a little in Afghanistan.”
I grinned.
“You’re incredible, Jade.”
Her face lit up. Joy flowed from both of us.
“We’re married,” she said. “I still can’t believe it.”
“Me either.”
“I love you,” I said.
“I love you… so much.”
She pressed her lips against mine. The countryside passed outside as time sped by. At the bed-and-breakfast I had rented for the weekend, we made love multiple times a day.
While nice, none of the physical connection compared to hearing her thoughts spoken as words. Instead of becoming bored with her, I found myself more captivated as time went on.
Our lives had been thrown together in a country ravaged by war halfway around the world, and our first meeting had been interrupted, but sometimes second chances are possible.

Five Years Later
Cooper and I arrived at our home in Connecticut after the awards ceremony exhausted. We had spent the whole day preparing to receive the honor for Best Independent News source in the country.
Now that it was all over, I wanted to get back to work. The company Cooper and I had created, enabling people around the world to get their story about corruption in front of audience, had taken off.
He unlocked our beautiful front door to our new home, still not saying anything. After five years, I learned his moods and eccentricities quite well. Boredom lurked behind his sullen face. I was sure of it.
“Whatcha thinking about?” I asked as I walked in first.
“Oh, you know.”
After closing the door and locking it, he turned around. His eyes opened wide as he saw me unbuttoning my blouse. I smiled seductively, ready to start the next phase of our life.
“Let’s make a baby,” I said, watching as he stripped out of his clothes.
“I was thinking earlier today, after this award, our business will take off. We will need to hire more people, delegate some responsibilities…”
“Delegate,” I said, down to only my panties.
“There will be more man power so some of our time will finally be freed up. This is the perfect time…”
“…to start our family,” I said, finishing his sentence.
He stepped forward and pressed his body against mine. After so many years of condoms and other methods to avoid conception, I would finally feel his naked cock inside my pussy.
The thought made my heart beat faster as I slipped off my panties, kicking them across our spotless living room. They landed on the expensive leather couch we had picked out together.
