Veronica felt his eyes on her as she perused the menu. "Stop staring at me," she commanded, not taking her gaze from the oh-so-tasty entree names listed. 'What to choose, what to choose.' There were so many options, so little time.
"I can't help it," Logan remarked.
The warmth in his voice finally drew her attention. She looked at him over the top of the menu. "What do you mean?"
"You're here. With me. We'll about to eat lunch. It just feels surreal."
Veronica finally allowed a smile to grace face. "I guess you're right. I definitely never thought we'd be like this again."
"Too bad it's going to end so soon," he muttered.
She thought about his pending deployment that was a week away. She finally put the menu down on the table and reached for his hand, gripping it tightly. "It's only six months. We went nine years, so six months should be nothing to us."
"Still..." He trailed off, unable to finish.
She understood, though. Six months may not be that long in time, but they had just reconnected and it felt as if they weren't getting a chance to properly be together before they had to say goodbye.
When he came back, they would have work out how their relationship was going to work as they didn't want to have to worry about the details in the two weeks they had. It was going to be hard. And there would probably be yelling.
But Veronica was determined to make it work this time around. It was now or never.
