It has been two weeks since we last saw each other. The longest we have been apart since we first met just over two years ago. Today has been growing in anticipation since we both woke up. In less than a minute, we will be reunited.
The door clicks as you turn the key in the lock of the front door. A wave of warmth rushes you as you step through the door. The living room is only lit by candles as the darkness of the night is extinguished as the door closes behind you. You carefully remove your long, furry, white coat and hang it in the closet. The candle-lit room is filled with the aroma deliciousness cooking in the oven.
I am cooking a roast dinner in the kitchen and I have just put down my glass of wine after taking a sip celebrating the near completion of my first ever cooking of a Sunday roast dinner.
"Nigel Slater would be proud," I think to myself.
My heart skips a beat as I hear the familiar clicking sound of my dearly missed sweethearts sexy, high heeled shoes seductively walking across the hard wood floor towards the kitchen. My head swivels to face the sound as our eyes lock and we both have ear to ear smiles on our faces. When you are nearly within reach, you extend your arms in anticipation of a deep embrace.
