Evan stood in front of Michaela's desk, his hands clasped in front of him. "Are you sure? I can wait until you're finished," he said.
Michaela shook her head. "Go, Evan. I still have about two hours of work to get done. I'll be there once I'm finished," she said as she looked up at him. She gave him a smile and pointed toward the door. "Go. Spend some time with Kyri. She doesn't bite."
Smirking, Evan raised his hands in surrender. "All right. I'll go without you." He moved closer and leaned over the desk so he could deeply kiss her. When they needed to breathe, he pulled back. "I'll see you later."
After leaving the office, Evan went down to the Gate room and had Chuck dial the Gate. As he waited for the event horizon to appear, Evan found himself smiling. The last several weeks had been the best in his life. Not only was he with two beautiful women, but Evan also knew things ending with Marissa wasn't his fault. Kyri and Michaela had made sure to pound that in his head.
When he walked through the Gate, he grinned when he saw Kyri. Going over to her, he gave her a soft kiss. "Mike needed to finish some paperwork but will be out here by nightfall," he said as he reached up and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "How are you doing?"
