Fareeha stood outside of Angela's office door nervously, holding a bouquet of roses. Angela would be surprised to see her after such a long time apart. After taking a break from their relationship to take a vacation, Fareeha hoped that Angela still felt the same. Angela, as soon as she had gotten back from Sweden, had gone straight to work.

A few nurses walked by behind Fareeha, murmuring to each other and smiling encouragingly at the nervous soldier who had asked occasionally how Angela was. Apparently, Angela had been in a foul mood that day and that didn't help things. The security officer could handle bomb threats, hostage situations, an elite talon terrorist attack, or even a battalion of Omnics…but she couldn't for the life of her knock on the door to Angela's office. She smelled the pink and white roses and lowered her head to sigh quietly.

Gaining as much courage as she could, she lifted her arm and knocked gently at the door. There was silence from the other side for longer than usual, and when Angela opened the door, she looked absolutely miserable. Her hair stuck out of her pony tail at odd angles and her eyes were tired. She looked down at the floor and played with her coat sleeves, not bothering to notice who had knocked at the door.

"Yes, what is it?" She asked, rubbing her face…she seemed to have a headache.

"Hi, Angela." Fareeha greeted her.

Upon the sound of her girlfriend's voice, Angela looked up and the expression on her face changed from displeasure to absolute elation.

"FAREEHA!" Angela gasped, pulling her into her office and shutting the door quickly. She threw her arms around her shoulders and Fareeha moved the flowers out of the way. Angela giggled and kissed her face and lips until Fareeha couldn't breathe. Both girls held each other for a while, Fareeha dazed and absolutely relieved that Angela loved her just as much as she did when she left.

"How was your trip?" Fareeha asked, rubbing Angela's back comfortingly.

"It was alright I suppose." Angela sighed, "Sweden is always nice but I missed you so much."

Fareeha kissed her cheek lovingly, "I missed you too."

"I kinda realized that you're my home away from home…and I felt so homesick." Angela said sweetly against Fareeha's chest, "I'm glad to be home though…with you."

Fareeha just about lost her composure for a moment but held it together as she moved away and held out the flowers for Angela, smiling happily. The doctor took the flowers and set them on her desk, thanking Fareeha wordlessly through hugs and kisses and suggestive touching until the half an hour before Angela was to go home was up.

"I haven't even unpacked yet." Angela sighed, "Would you mind helping me?"

"Not at all." Fareeha said, carrying Angela's purse and flowers for her, "As long as you tell me about your trip!"
