Day 060: Highlight
Coasting. Best word to describe this week so far. Only Wednesday and I feel utterly drained. I slowly made my way to the door and stared at the door handle. Even lifting my arm to open the door felt like a task. I didn’t even get the chance to attempt as the door swung open, met with the excited smile of my partner, “Baabe, you're home!”
Like a puppy that had waited for me all day to come home, Asher wrapped me in a tight hug, lifting me from my spot. My breath left my lungs as I tapped his arm, urging him to release me, to let me breathe. He placed me down, not even giving me a chance to catch my breath before he kissed me quickly. A peck on the lips, nose, my eye, kissing me so frantically that he missed my cheekbone. My exhaustion still nagged me but it was slowly numbed by his touch, his laugh, his embrace. Intoxicating. I giggled into more kisses, he was the highlight of every day. No matter the mood I was in, he was always there. Like a lighthouse in the darkest storms, guiding me home.
