A week went by, a week without him. He went on another business trip. This time he took Laura. He would be arriving in two days. Just in time for his birthday. I miss him, wish we could go back to London. "Miss Hale." I looked up to see Mateo. "Mr. Hawthorne, I thought you were returning in two days." "Since I got the deal faster than I expected, I decided to come home earlier." He grabbed my hand, "I miss you." With that said, he left the office. "I miss you too." I whispered as tears were falling. After work, I went to a book store and saw the books he told me he loves so much. I smiled while looking at them. *flashback* We were in his office talking. It was one of those moments where he needed to talk to someone. So, he called me and we just talked about everything.
