Three weeks later Piper was waiting for Randy to come over. She had dinner cooking for them. She was in the kitchen and heard the front door open.

"It's me." Randy said.

"Kitchen." He came into the kitchen. He was holding a bottle of wine. "Hi "

"Hi." They kissed.

"Planning on getting me drunk and taking advantage of me?"

"Damn, you figured it out." He said jokingly.

She laughed. "Dinner will be ready in about five minutes."

"I'll set the table." He started to set the table. "I see you finished painting." "It looks great."

"Thanks."

At around one o'clock in the morning. Piper was in the kitchen in nothing but Randy's shirt. She was standing at the island and had just finished eating a snack. She felt Randy's arms wrap around her waist. He was in nothing but his boxers.

"There you are." Randy said. "I reached for you and you weren't there."

"I'm sorry." "I was hungry."

"I'm hungry to, come here." She turned around, he picked her up off the ground and they went upstairs.

They just finished having sex and were catching their breath. He was still on top of her.

"Piper I have to tell you something." He said. He was silent for about twenty seconds. "I love you."

"I love you too." They kissed.

The next morning at six Randy knelt down by Piper's side of the bed.

"Piper." He said softly. She opened her eyes. "I gotta go baby."

"Text me when you land."

"I will." They kissed. "I love you."

"I love you too." "Bye."

"Bye."

Randy landed in Missouri a few hours later. He text Piper then took a taxi home. He opened his front door.

"I'm home." He said.

"Hi sweetheart." His wife Samantha said coming into the room. "I missed you."

"I missed you to." They kissed.
