Techie wiped at his eyes and kissed her cheek. “Thanks, Sarah. It m-means a lot to me.” Regretfully, he disentangled himself from her warm hug and tried to smooth down his hair. He needed to get to work soon or he’d be penalized!

“I have to go work, but I’ll see you later,” he promised, and stole another quick, sweet kiss before opening the door and heading off.
