Author's Note: Hey, y'all! Sorry I have been so irregular with my posting of all my stories (not just this one). I really need to make a push and just WRITE, but I've been so BUSY! So I'm sorry about that :(

Small talk- chain on your neck

"Kara." A quiet voice interrupted my work.

I looked up blearily. "Oh, hey, Winn."

"Do you know what time it is?" My boyfriend asked, grinning amusedly.

"No..." I trailed off, glancing at my clock. "Oh, darn!"

"You work to hard." Winn said fondly, referring to my tendency to overwork like tonight. It was 11:46, and I was completely exhausted.

"Come on. Let's get some coffee." Winn helped me up, both of us yawning at the same time and then laughing. We walked down to the car, and he hopped in the drivers seat.

I leaned my head against the window and closed my eyes. I almost fell asleep, but then we had arrived at the coffee place we both frequented.

Winn came around and opened my car door, and I giggled, calling him a gentlemen, which he liked. We walked into the coffee shop holding hands.

"I just want a decaf." I told Winn, and he went up to the bar to order. He came back with our coffees after a few minutes, and we got a table.

A few cars drove by, their light flashing into the window. Winn looked up. "You're wearing the necklace I got you!"

I looked down at the simple silver chain around my neck with the small House of El family crest on the end. It was my favorite necklace out of all I owned.

"Yeah. I never take it off. Except to sleep and take a shower and stuff. I love it."

Winn grinned. "Good. I'm glad. I thought you would."

We finished our coffee, and got back into the car to drive the our apartment. Before we parted ways, Winn to go to #333, and me to go to #335, Winn gave me a tight hug, murmuring something into my ear.

"What was that?" I asked, heart beating wildly.

"I love you." Winn said, louder this time.

"I love you, too, Winn." I said, and kissed him.

Author's Note: Hopefully it's worth the wait, though! You guys have been so great to me :)
