So I do it, get through it, how long left, twenty minutes til I see you again, til I be me again, proper me. Don’t cook, we’ll go out, celebrate I got through another eight hours without you. Next? Write this. I’ll get paid extra. Thanks, but small consolation when all I want to do is hold you. Only thing I’m holding now’s this pen: it’ll have to be you. So I write, best handwriting “I love you.”
All done? Finished. Race home. And yeah, you’re at the door holding it open, holding the sunshine ready for me.
And… breathe.

Don't apologize. This was a lovely set of drabbles. I'm very familiar with the working part but not so much the coming home to someone part. Oh well, you can't have everything.

Ha! tbh I toyed with the idea of twisting it into a tragic ending for a short while but decided against it. Thanks Jamie :)
