Love at Sunset

He carefully shuts the lid of his laptop, runs a hand through his spiked brown hair, and peels off the lab coat he has been wearing all day long. His crystal blue eyes sparkle as he remembers that his wife is now living in the city, and he hurries out of his office.

She tucks their daughter into bed for the night and thanks her sister in law for coming over to babysit last minute. She slips out the door, silently walking through the darkened city, and meets her husband out on the balcony closest to their quarters.

He catches her in a hug, lays a sweet kiss on her lips, and just holds her close. She smiles up into his face, and she whispers the three special words: "I love you".

He smiles, slightly lopsided, and hugs her tighter for a moment. He leads her to the bench at the side of the balcony and they sit, she on his lap, wrapped in his muscular arms to keep the chill of the evening away. They are still just as much in love as they have ever been, their love is as fresh as the day they first felt it.

With one more sweet, gentle kiss, he returns her words: "I love you as well, my Love", his gentle, lilting Scottish accent melts her heart, and she can do nothing but snuggle closer to his chest and smile.
