Stefan smiled wider as Elena kissed him. She always did give the best kisses, even without trying. "Good," he replied, shifting onto his side so he could look at her. He slipped an arm around her waist, pulling her a little closer. "Long," he added. Every shift at work was long when all he wanted was to be back with her.
Stefan shrugged slightly. He couldn't deny he'd been worrying recently; about things here, but also things at home. Still, the dark circles beneath his eyes were probably more due to the fact that he hadn't fed in a few days. He'd been worried about feeding too much while Katherine wasn't really available to supervise. "I'll be fine," he said softly, trying to reassure her.
Stefan lifted his arm from her waist to brush her hair back from her face. "How was your afternoon?" he asked, smiling as he played with her hair.
