hums in agreement at those first words, a half smile on his face as he gazes down to his wife, using his fingers to push the hair out of her face.

"we're all packed already, right?"

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝖒𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗵. @G00DGREY]

⠀
she leaned into his side easily, as one arm slipped around his waist.

❝ at least you’re home now. ❞

she pulled back just enough to look up at him, with an understanding smile.

❝ yeah— still feels like forever away though! ❞
⠀

[𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕖𝕜 @postitsurgeon]

⠀
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀
he's taking her into his arms to pull her into his side. "very, very long." murmmers out against her forehead.

"just a few more days until we go, though."

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝖒𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗵. @G00DGREY]

⠀
cranium turned to face him, an arm instantly reaching out for him.

❝ hey, long day? ❞ she questioned, followed by a kiss to his cheek.
⠀

[𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕖𝕜 @postitsurgeon]

⠀
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀
it had been an incredibly long day so as soon as he gets home, he immediately crawled into bed next to @G00DGREY.

[𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕖𝕜 @postitsurgeon]

⠀
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀
ah but there has to be some mystery!

do you need some help?

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝖒𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗵. @G00DGREY]

⠀
there’s not supposed to be secrets in marriage, y’know!

don’t worry, i’ll waste no time in packing.
⠀

[𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕖𝕜 @postitsurgeon]

⠀
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀
i cannot reveal all of my secrets!

i love you too! you better get packing, we leave in four days!

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝖒𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗵. @G00DGREY]

⠀
have i ever mentioned how much i truly appreciate and love you?

how have you managed that?
⠀

[𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕖𝕜 @postitsurgeon]

⠀
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀
i may have managed to pull a few strings and we are going to greece!

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝖒𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗵. @G00DGREY]

⠀
.. what?
⠀

[𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕖𝕜 @postitsurgeon]

⠀
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀
he has a surprise for @G00DGREY!

[𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕖𝕜 @postitsurgeon]

⠀
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀
leave it with him then! he has to run out for a little, but he'll be back to pick her up for lunch.

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝖒𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗵. @G00DGREY]

⠀
she promises that he’ll never have to learn.

well, this will be easy. la, new orleans, italy, greece.
⠀

[𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕖𝕜 @postitsurgeon]

⠀
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀
she better be. he's not sure what he would do without her. she just needs to give him a few places that she's always wanted to see.

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝖒𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗵. @G00DGREY]

⠀
good. so is she.

oh, she does trust him. very, very much. although, she does get curious!
⠀

[𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕖𝕜 @postitsurgeon]

⠀
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀
she'll never have to find out. he's in this for the long run. she'll see just — trust him.

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝖒𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗵. @G00DGREY]

⠀
what would she do without him?

what’s his idea?
⠀

[𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕖𝕜 @postitsurgeon]

⠀
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀
. . . leave it with him. he may have an idea.

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝖒𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗵. @G00DGREY]

⠀
that would be the greatest idea ever. if they were to get the time off.
⠀

[𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕖𝕜 @postitsurgeon]

⠀
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀
maybe they need a vacation. just them, somewhere with a beach, sun and a drink for a full week.

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝖒𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗵. @G00DGREY]

⠀
well, today they’ve got twenty four uninterrupted hours. better make the most of it!
⠀

[𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕖𝕜 @postitsurgeon]

⠀
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀
he is too. he's missed having her all to himself.

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝖒𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗵. @G00DGREY]

⠀
perfect! she’s rather excited for this.
⠀

[𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕖𝕜 @postitsurgeon]

⠀
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀
if that's what she wants, then that's what she'll get.

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝖒𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗵. @G00DGREY]

⠀
an italian place would be quite nice.
⠀

[𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕖𝕜 @postitsurgeon]

⠀
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀
anything for her ! where does she want to go then?

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝖒𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗵. @G00DGREY]

⠀
well, if he’s offering, how can she say no to that!
⠀

[𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕖𝕜 @postitsurgeon]

⠀
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀
what about some lunch then? wherever she wants to go. its of course, on him.

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝖒𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗵. @G00DGREY]

⠀
well, there’s multiple things could do .. do absolutely nothing and stay in all day, go out, grab some lunch or whatever.
⠀

[𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕖𝕜 @postitsurgeon]

⠀
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀
what could they do with this newfound freedom? anything in particular she wants to do today?

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝖒𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗵. @G00DGREY]

⠀
something must be working in their favour today, because surprisingly she is.
⠀

[𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕖𝕜 @postitsurgeon]

⠀
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀
he has a rare day off work and is praying that @G00DGREY might possibly be off too.

[𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕖𝕜 @postitsurgeon]

⠀
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀
"it's been busy, i've got another surgery in thirty but i wanted to see you first. unless you're not too busy, you could scrub in with me?"

it had been a while since they operated together and he did miss being in the or with her.

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝖒𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗵. @G00DGREY]

⠀
her fingers gave his a gentle squeeze, thumb brushing lightly over his knuckles in quiet affection.

❝ yeah, that’s one way of putting it. how’s your day been? ❞
⠀

[𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕖𝕜 @postitsurgeon]

⠀
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀
his free arm automatically winds around her slim waist.

"busy day?" questions as his eyes search her's, lips twitching in a faint smile.

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝖒𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗵. @G00DGREY]

⠀
her fingers instinctively curled around his as he drew her closer.

❝ besides the tiredness, a quick five minutes break was needed. ❞
⠀
