“I know you can, love.. Doesn’t stop me from worrying about you, though.” Alex chewed the inside of his lip, a nervous habit, almost tempted to go with her as the muscle. That way he could keep an eye on her, and he wouldn’t have to worry.. He wasn’t sure that would fly with Peri, however. Snapped out of his thoughts, he grinned at her kiss to his nose before hooking his pinkie finger around hers. “Good. It’s so hard to find a good girlfriend these days.. And I’m really not up for training another one,” he teased, pulling her in for one final kiss. “Now go already. Leave me to wallow in my loneliness..”
Peri didn’t miss the tic, and was almost surprised when Alex didn’t suggest that he went with her. It’s not like she would have said no. In fact, it may have been preferable to the alternative. “You’ll go mad if you start worrying about me for every little work thing, cher.” He cut a laugh off with his kiss, and she was still smirking when she stood up. “You know, it’s cute,” Peri mused as she walked toward the door. “The fact that you think you’re the one who has me trained.” She stuck her tongue out at him as she opened the door. “I’m sure you’ll be able to find something to occupy your time with other than wallowing. After all, you have plans to be making, remember?”
