Her eyes fluttered open and she saw him sitting on the edge beside her. She immediately launched herself at him locking her arms around his neck and burrowing her face into his chest, breathing him in.
His hands snaked into her hair, holding her there and buried his face into the top of her head. "I missed you. I missed you so much. Never again." He rubbed her back with his other hand, just happy to feel her, and know this was really happening.
After a few moments she lifted her head up and ran her hand across his scruffy jaw. She gave him a deep long and loving kiss. He reciprocated and was focused on all things Emily.
They broke apart and Emily took a good look at him. She saw the exhaustion settled on his features, but also nothing but love. "Come on, I don't have to be up for another few hours, come lay with me."
He took off his shoes and leather jacket and slid into the bed. He opened his arms to her and she settled in with her head resting on his chest. He started stroking her hair and kissed her forehead a few times. He felt more comfortable then he had in a long time.
"Love you so much. Goodnight Em."
"Love you too, get some sleep."
He smiled, knowing that he was finally where he was supposed to be, home with her in his arms.
