A Pair of Purple Eyes
Alaric was used to traveling far distances and jetlag no longer affected him. He arrived in England when it was still morning. He had time to rest in the cabin of his private plane and so he had enough energy to start his day as if it was just another regular workday.
It was still afternoon in Singapore. He did not want to be too busy with his work and forget to contact Aleksis as he had promised, so before landing he decided to send an SMS to the girl.
[Will land in London soon. I miss you.]
The message was brief, but he was very happy to write it. It felt strange, because for the first time in his life, he openly expressed his longing for someone.
He usually traveled all over the world without missing anyone, nor feeling that he was traveling away from home. Usually, his home was wherever he was. Most often, that home was his private plane or car.
