Abi had her earphones plugged directly into her ears, hair tied up and swinging in a ponytail. She didn't ask for much alone time but her weekly runs had become a great way of working out her stress when Charlie acted up or when she and Ernie hadn't had the energy for their sex life. It was natural to go in fits and starts, but she got kind of worked up when they hadn't had some alone time for a while. Running served her purpose and got her fit and healthy as well.
She wore a crop top and yoga pants, not feeling any cold in the weather yet. It was as she coming up to the bakery that she saw his familiar figure. She guessed he'd taken Charlie to get some breakfast at Sookie's and instantly ran towards him. Her eyes bugged when she saw him though. He looked so damn young. His cheekbones were sharper and his skin far more taut and smooth with that youthful exuberance. The island had been messing around again.
"Oh my god, look at you. Wow, you were a cutie pie when you were younger, Hem..." she grinned, stepping up and giving him a kiss. "I didn't even notice you had changed when I left but you were still asleep. You must tell me the name of the night cream you use," she giggled, her eyes lighting up in warm mirth.
