"Lester, can not you stay with me for some more?" Elsie asked with a puppy face that he could not deny.
"Elsie... Edwin might be looking for me." He said, even though he wanted to be with his mate more than anything.
"Then let him. Brother Edwin will not mind it. Please!"
Lester smiled at her stubbornness. Pulling her into his chest, he gazed down at her lovingly.
"Is my little mate missing me that much?"
Elsie hit him on the chest with a frown. "Shut up Lester. You do not have any time for me. You are always busy with brother Edwin. Your mother sent a letter to me last week and complained that you do not write them nor you visit them."
Lester sighed, guilt spread on his features. "I know Elsie. But with everything going on, I just..." He blew hot air through his mouth that caressed her face, and she gulped down her dry throat.
