Clandestine

Did you see the way he looked at her? Wait. Did you watch her glow when he came from behind her & touched her face & kissed her nose? Did you HEAR her giggle? Listen. Did you pay attention to what he called her? ________. YEAH! Her name! No bae, no babe, no baby, no boo, no darlin', no honey, no love, no sweetie, no sweetheart, no sugar, etc,. HER NAME. I know you felt her joy. You see how securely he's holding her? Almost afraid that if he were to let go, that would be it. *sigh* She can't stop kissing all over his face while saying, "I LOVE YOU, _______! I LOVE YOU."

Those temporary moments of pleasure before getting back to their reality.

Him, alone. & her arriving at her place, ready to make dinner for her husband.

"Honey, I'm home!"

"Hey Babe, missed ya!"
