I set my phone down.
Dominic left this morning. He hasn’t even been gone a full day, and yet he’s stillhere.
Taking care of me.
I press my hand to my chest, then pick my phone up.
Me: Good thing you aren’t overbearing or anything.
Send.
Big Guy: You have a lifetime to get used to it.
I set my phone back down.
I can’t deal with this man anymore today.

Big Guy: Good morning, Angel. Are you staying home today?
I blink,rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. Then I see it’s six a.m., meaning it’s four where he is.
Me: Yes. And why are you up so early?
Send.
Big Guy: Up late but about to go to bed. Wish me sweet dreams.
I pretend not to smile.
Me: Go to sleep.
Send.
Big Guy: And a kiss.
I open the camera.
Me: *sends photo of my middle finger with the sleepy city in the background*

Me: Husband, I do not want to rot away in this condo every day, morning to night.

Big Guy: So touchy. It’s okay. I know you’re grouchy because you miss me.
I set the phone back down.
