Eight months, has it been now? Alone in his house. Connected to her only through video calls and quick chats. Missing the curve of her frame, the length of her legs, the sound of her breath when it’s held with a thought.
Watching her hair grow, ringlets cascading from her shoulder now – he likes it better long. Soon it will delicately frame her ample chest – oh though he’d never admit to looking, they were hard to miss on her short frame – and how unfortunate that they are cut out of the picture when they talk now.
To see her walk down the hallway towards our office in that figure hugging black number… Only time will tell if that will ever happen again.
But for now. They communicate in the digital.
She blushes when he logs in, he fixes his hair and smiles so big his back teeth show. It’s foolish. They both know it’s foolish. And it becomes a game of hiding. But soon, projects stall and tensions hit an all time high – and she falls back into this petulant behavior.
