Nikita rubbed the towel through her hair as went to answer the door. Her eyes took in the haggard looking Michael. She stepped aside to let him in. Closing the door she walked past him and moved to the living room.

“How was your business trip?”

She sat down and looked at him. “It was long.”

“I tried calling...”

“I know I got your messages. I’m sorry I couldn’t get in contact with you. I had to be invisible to certain people.”

“I know and I understand. I just wanted to make sure you were okay.”

“I’m okay. Just tired is all.”

Nikita looked at him and sighed softly. “Eight years ago tomorrow my parents died. I’m just a little overwhelmed with work and everything.”

“I’m sorry. If you want I’ll leave and-”

“No,” she said hurriedly. “I needed to see a friendly face.”

He sat next to her on the couch and took her hand. “I understand what it’s like to lose someone close to you. It’s a hurt that dims but never goes away. Sometimes you need to be with people but sometimes you need to be alone and rest.”

He stroked her cheek. “I’m going to leave because you’re tired and I’m determined to be a gentleman. I’ll come over tomorrow and we can got to the park or something. Whatever you want to do.”

“Michael-”

He silenced her with a gentle kiss that turned heated when she put her arms around his neck. He pulled away gently his breath coming in small gasps. “I have to go. Night.”

He kissed her nose and lips before rising and leaving Nikita’s home. The door’s quiet click finalizing his departure.
