She runs to hug him, more enthusiastic than he'd expected, pressing soft kisses to the skin of his neck, tracing his jawline. 'Well someone's happy to see me.' he chuckles.

'I missed you.' she murmurs, nuzzling her nose against his neck.

'It's not been that long.'

'It's been forever.' she refutes, cuddling closer.

'Just over a month, not forever.' he counters.

'What, you didn't miss me at all?' she asks, pulling back to look at him.

'Of course I missed you Alu.' he says, but there's something wrong, she can hear it in his voice.

'Liar.' she mutters, looking down but not moving out of his embrace.

'Alia, course I missed you baby, why else d'you think I came back early?' he questions, trying to catch her eye.

'You didn't. You're probably just back for a couple days of holiday and you figured you'd come and end it with me now instead of waiting.' She steps back, out of the warmth and comfort of his arms.

'What on earth makes you think I'm gonna end it?' he asks, catching her hand and threading their fingers together.

'What I said to you that day. I mean, we've hardly spoken since....' she mumbles, forgetting the rest of what she was thinking as he pulls her back into his arms, burying his head in the crook of her neck, giving her a soft kiss as he breathed her in, making her giggle at the ticklish feeling of his stubble. 

'Pagli, one little fight doesn't mean the end of us.' he tells her, pulling back to look at her.

'It wasn't exactly a little fight. I shouldn't have said what I did. It was way out of line.'

'And I shouldn't have said what I did either. But that doesn't mean we're done.' he assures.

'Still, I'm sorry. Forgive me?' she asks cutely.

'Only if you'll forgive me.'

'You're forgiven and it's forgotten.'
