A Heart's Desire

Three months later...

Summer looked at what she'd made. A nice dinner. A very nice dinner.

She knew that Seth worked hard. Seth worked hard because of her, because he wanted her to fallow her dreams and still give her everything she wanted. And he was succeeding. Summer could buy whatever she wanted. They had a nice apartment with fancy furniture. They could wear designer clothes and they could travel wherever they felt like travel. And still, Summer didn't make that much money. To be honest, she didn't make that much at all. She was drawing sketch after sketch and running around several times a week on fashion shows looking for what was in and finding inspiration. She had tried to sell her clothes though to her disappointment it didn't work out that well.

Things were hard. But Summer knew that. She knew what she had thrown herself into. Even though it was hard and every rejection took hard on her, it was her dream and she would not give up on it. Seth was always there to support her, no matter what. And he encouraged her and was always positive. He was the one holding her when she was crying, upset by a no again. And he was the one giving her a pen and a peace of paper saying that she has to get back on that horse.

So Summer did. She kept going and every time she got a no, Seth told her, she was closer to a yes. And Summer believed in him.

So now, she had cooked him a special dinner. She didn't really like to cook, but she knew that when Seth got home from a long day at work, he would be tired. And she wanted to do something for him because he did so much for her. He worked at least ten hours every day to support her. This was the least she could do.

As she heard the front door open she rushed out of the kitchen to greet her husband. He was already hanging his jacket in the closet when she came out into the foyer. Seth was met by a big smile when he closed the door to the closet and Summer walked up to him, giving him a big kiss along with an embrace lasting for several minutes.

"I've missed you so much." she said into his shirt, taking in the scent that she loved so much.

"I haven't been gone for that long, baby. And we spoke to each other just an hour ago." Seth pointed out, slowly starting to lead her to the kitchen.

"I know. It's just not the same as when you're with me." Summer said leaning in closer to Seth as they entered the kitchen where Summer had set the table and even lit two candles.

"Wow. I could get used to coming home to this." Seth said kissing his wife and looking at the table with the food carefully placed in the middle of it. "What's the occasion?"

"I just wanted to do something nice to you." Summer led him to the table and they sat down facing each other.

"This looks fantastic, Sum."

"Thank you. I hope you'll like it."

"How was your day?" Seth asked as he began to eat the delicate food watching Summer do the same.

"As usual. I stayed here, making some sketches. What about you?"

"I went to several meetings. Nothing special, really."

"Okay."

After the dinner Seth and Summer moved to sit in the living room having some more wine.

"I have some bad news" Seth said sipping his glass of wine nervously.

"No, I hate bad news." Summer whined, putting her glass on the table giving Seth her full attention.

"I know." Seth replied with sadness in his voice.

"Well, what is it then?" Summer softened and stroked his chin slightly.

"I have to go away for a few days." Seth said dropping the bomb.

"Why?"

"Work. I have to go to Japan taking care of some things."

" Japan? That's really far away Cohen."

"I know."

"For how long?"

"Five days, maybe a week."

"When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow." Seth told her and swallowing.

"Tomorrow? Seth! It's the weekend. We were going to spend some time together. And what about on Tuesday? I need you to be with me then."

"I'm sorry Summer. You know that I would stay here if I could. But this came up and I have to go."

"Can't you tell someone else to go?"

"No, I can't. I have to do this. It's important. If it wasn't I wouldn't go."

"But what about me and our plans? You're always working. The weekends are the only time when we can be together."

"That's not true. I don't work all the time."

"Maybe not but when you're not you're tired because of it."

"Summer, listen." Seth started, taking Summer's hands in his.

"No, Seth. I get it. You're leaving me alone here for a week." Summer said quickly, trying hard not to cry. She was so disappointed at him. They'd had all these plans and she had been looking forward to this weekend.

"It's not like that, baby." Seth tried.

"Oh, yes it is. That is exactly what it is." Summer pulled her hands away from his and stood up. "I'm going to bed."

"Summer," Seth got up as well, trying to stop here.

"No, Seth." She said as he tried to touch her and make her stay. "I'm going to bed."

"Summer, please wait. Let's talk about it."

"I don't want to talk and we don't need to talk. Goodnight." As she turned away and walked to the bedroom, Seth didn't say anything. By now, he knew that she wouldn't listen. She would just get more pissed. She needed some space right now.

He sighed and went to the kitchen to clean up after them. He smiled at everything she'd done. He hated to make her sad but he had to do this; he had to go to Japan.

The time went by and Seth cleaned the kitchen, took care of the dishes, watched the news and when the clock turned eleven he went to their bedroom, only to find his toothbrush and his pyjamas lying outside of the door. Summer was really angry with him. Most of the times after they'd been fighting, she just turned her back against him in bed. She didn't throw him out.

Sighing, Seth picked up his things and walked to the guestroom. Things surely didn't get any easier after being married for a year. Did he really work that much?

Seth never wanted Summer to feel alone. He wanted to give her everything she wanted; he wanted to make her happy. The whole point of why he taken this job was to be able to support her.

Summer woke up with a jerk. The feelings from last night returned and she remembered why she was alone in bed. It was weird, being the only one sleeping in a king sized bed. She was so used to have Seth next to her.

To judge by the weather outside Summer figured that it was way past morning. And that usually meant that she was alone. Seth went to work early but he always woke her up before, saying goodbye and wishing her a nice day. She wanted things that way. She hated waking up and not have talked to him or kissed him on the whole day since it would take hours before seeing him again. But now, he wasn't leaving to come back for dinner. He was leaving for a week.

Summer was angry. It was Saturday and they were supposed to stay in bed the whole day and go out in the evening. And tomorrow they were supposed to go to the mall. And on Tuesday Summer had an important meeting having to do with her career. She needed him with her that day. Before to pep her and wish her good luck and afterwards comforting her as she was all upset over another no.

Stubbornly though, Summer stayed in bed and tried to fall back asleep. She wanted to hear when he was leaving and say goodbye to him. But she was still angry so she ignored the sun lighting up the room and went back to sleep.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Seth gently knocked on the door to their bedroom. It was soon time for him to leave and Summer hadn't shown herself for the whole day. He couldn't leave before saying goodbye, even if she was being all stubborn and pissed.

When he didn't get any reply he opened the door and went inside. Summer was laying spread all over the bed, the sheets curled around her body. Seth couldn't help but smile at her.

He quickly packed his things and then went to sit next to her on their bed. He caressed her upper arm, making the hair on her soft skin rise. She began to stir and after rubbing her eyes in that adorable way she opened her eyes.

"Hi Summer." Seth said carefully still caressing her arm.

"Hi," Summer said back and sat up. Seth could see that she hadn't forgotten about their conversation last night.

"I have to be at the airport at two."

"What time is it?"

"One."

"Oh," Summer said and looked down at her hands, tightly intertwined in her lap.

"Summer, listen. I'm sorry about this, okay? But I can't say no, I have to go."

"Yeah."

"Please don't be mad at me Sum. You know that I'm not doing this to hurt you."

"I know."

"I'll call you every day and about Tuesday; you'll be fine and you can call me right afterwards and tell me everything about it."

"It's not the same."

"I know it's not but we just have to make the best of it. Please." Seth begged, taking her hand in his, bringing it to his lips and kissing the inside of it.

"I don't have a choice, do I?" Seth just looked at her with pleading eyes as he kept kissing her hand. "I'll still miss you." she finally said and looked up at him.

"I'll miss you too. Like so much." Seth moved closer to her and wrapped his arms around her to pull her into his lap. She did not refuse but didn't hug him back either. She just let him hold her and let herself be held.

"I love you Summer." Seth said and kissing her cheek.

"I know." was Summer's reply.
