ficklet #5

45 mins after his call, she got out of the cab to meet him for dinner. he met her at the front door. she gave him a peck on the cheek. he held her hand. they sat down at their usual table.

"so how was your trip", she asked.

"it was ok. spent time at the bio-diesel place", he replied.

"did you miss me?", she teased with a smile on her face.
