Back to reality

"We both worked hard… but there's still a little bit more work to do, huh?" 

Contrary to the instant dose of anger and annoyance that struck me when the radio rang on my hip, Fay managed to keep to her senses and maintain her cool. 

"More than work…" I muttered, twisting my lips in a dissatisfied grimace. 

This was such a beautiful, transcendent moment… 

And yet, my responsibilities forced us to bury the occasion and hope something on the same level would happen again. 

"We can't always have what we want, huh?" Fay muttered, putting only a slightly pained smile on her lips. 

"No," I shook my head a bit. "We can't have it both ways," I corrected her before taking a moment to contemplate my own stance on our current situation.
