Hope had been busy lately. Point in fact, she had been too busy which was probably why she hadn't actually noticed Wesley's mood. If she had been less busy, she definitely would have recognized that he was struggling and would have been the one to ask why. But today was the first day in a while that she had had much time. There were even more renovations being done over the summer and with the end of term approaching so soon, she had found herself quite swamped. But tonight she was free and she was ready to spend some quality time with her man.

"I've missed you," she said in a soft, sultry voice as her fingers lightly teased at the ends of his curly brown hair just above the nape of his neck.
