You're late

“By the way, Ruru, I will not be coming home to dinner today. My colleagues invited me for a drink. We will be eating dinner there too.”

Perhaps she only just remembered, Shio said that before I could turn the knob and leave her room.

Well, we became a bit more intimate than we had planned after all. The five minutes became fifteen. And we got another memory shared in this small private room of hers. From teasing to becoming intimate that fast. I guess we’re the same in our longing for each other.

I also told her what I told Kana and Rae but Shio dismissed it as if she already heard the same thing many times over. For her, my presence right beside her was what’s important.

She did lament that she might’ve gotten in an even worse situation with me than with her former husband but the contrast on how I continue to treat her special was what made it for her.
