I’m A Lot

Amy sat at her desk, her thoughts drifting to waking up in Lucas' arms, the warmth of his embrace still fresh in her memory.

Even as she hurried to prepare for work that morning, he had quickly made her breakfast and then had dropped her off at the office.

Although the office buzzed with the usual lunchtime chatter, Amy barely registered it. She couldn't shake the thought of Lucas leaving and the void his absence would create, and it was all she could do not to dwell on it too much.

"Amy, your charming boyfriend is here," one of her coworkers teased, nudging Amy with a playful grin and snapping her back to reality.

She looked up, startled to see Lucas standing by her desk, a teasing smile on his face. "Thinking about me?"

Amy flushed but couldn't hide her joy as she met Lucas's gaze. "What are you doing here?" she asked, her voice laced with both surprise and happiness as she rose.
