The Strangest Call
After a pleasant night together, Leon woke Ella with a kiss on the forehead.
"My love, I'll be traveling out of the country with my uncle, this morning. Depending on the outcome of my trip, I might be away for either two or three days. Nevertheless, I will always be in touch with you. You won't even notice my absence that much."
"Wow, that long, huh!" Ella pouted. Inwardly, she was unhappy that Leon was traveling again.
"Come on darling, don't give me that look! You know how it makes me feel." Leon bundled her into his arms and cuddled her tightly. "If you tell me not to travel for this important meeting, then I won't."
"What a funny way of trying to persuade me," Ella pinched his arms playfully. "You know I can't stop you or interfere in your business. The only thing is that I'm going to miss your warm cuddles and pampering."
