Olivia could feel sleep falling away from her but she didn't know why. She squinted open her eyes in the darkness as Peter picked up the phone. So that was what had disturbed her very restful nights sleep.
"What is it?" she heard Peter ask the annoying stranger. Olivia turned over and flicked her bedside lamp on. She was far too tired to follow the conversation but could see the worry on Peter's face as he put the phone back down.
"Who's was that?" Olivia asked in a falsely light hearted voice, trying to hide her annoyance.
That was Jack apparently he needs to see me now," Peter said quietly
"Couldn't he wait until a decent hour when us and Noah are awake?" Olivia complained.
"I wish," Peter said, an arm around Olivia's shoulders. "I have to go." He kissed her cheek and then slid out of bed, getting dressed.
"Okay, I'll get up," Olivia said, trying to keep her eyes open without too much effort.
"No don't," he replied easily. "Go back to sleep."
"Okay?" she said.
Peter stood smiling at her. He leant over her and kissed her lips softly. Olivia sighed with happiness. She broke away from him for a second. "Hurry home," she whispered breathlessly before kissing him much more intensely.
"I really have to go," Peter said, his voice showing his reluctance to leave her.
"So go," she said smiling once more before he kissed her again.
"I will be back as fast as humanly possible, I promise," he said in a heavy voice.
"Wake me when you get home, Olivia replied, pulling the duvet closer around her.
"Count on it," he murmured, regretfully leaving her alone to her very happy dreams.
