Epilogue:
Caroline woke up to the phone ringing. She turned around but Richard wasn't lying next to her anymore. The phone was still ringing as she heard him in the shower, so she decided to pick it up.
"Hello?"
"Uuh, Hi." A female voice was on the other end. "Am I talking to Caroline?"
"Yeah, who is this?" Caroline was slightly confused.
"Just somebody who wanted to check whether Richard kept a promise he made. And it seems he did."
"Do I know you?"
"We had a very short encounter, but I don't think you want to remember me. Anyway, gotta go. Bye." The other end of the line went dead.
'Now that was weird' Caroline thought, but her thoughts were distracted when Richard came back into the room with a big smile on his face.
"Who was that?"
Caroline shrugged "I have no idea. Some person talking about a promise you made. Can you explain this to me?"
Richard smiled inwardly 'Maddie'. "No. Sorry Caroline, no idea who that could've been."
Caroline tried to pull him back into bed "Uuh, Caroline. we're gonna be really late for work. And anyway, do you remember what we talked about last night? Taking things slow?"
"I don't care if we're late, I'm the boss remember? And I just want you to hold me. It feels so nice. Please, will you hold me forever?"
"My pleasure."
He climbed into the bed and snuggled up behind her, holding her as close as possible, drowning in her sweet scent.
'This is forever' they both thought.
