Annie paused for a moment, looking down at her feet before meeting his eyes again. "I-I don't know...Maybe I was just feeling a little insecure. You've been working so much lately and we haven't had much time together. It was just hard not to wonder sometimes." She gave him a small smile, her voice soft and apologetic.

That made her happy indeed. "Really? You have a whole month off?" She smiled brightly and threw her arms around his neck again, squeezing him tightly. "Oh, I can't wait! We'll finally be able to spend some quality time together. We can go on trips or just stay home and watch movies...I'm so glad you told me!" She leaned in closer, her face flushed with excitement.
