Georgia responded in kind. Having worried for a while day and with the dust settled, all her longing, love and worry dissolved in those intimate motions.
In a haze, the two melted into each other’s essence.
Finally, when the tumultuous affairs of the bedroom ended, Georgia was too tired to even move.
Robert picked her up to the bathroom to clean her up. After getting dressed, Robert handed her a glass of water.
Georgia started ribbing him straight away.
“You’re getting more and more shameless, lying to our daughter, telling her you had important business with me. You think it’s easy to bully children, huh?”
“Didn’t you get pretty excited too?”
Robert chuckled provocatively. Georgia blushed.
“That was a normal reaction.”
Saying that, Georgia felt a twinge of doubt.
It had taken a year for them to get this close together.
Without any cares, without any worries, truly embracing each other fully without any fears left.
“I’m happy and satisfied like this, Robert. From now on, let’s never get involved in anything dangerous unless we have to. Otherwise, I can’t ever accept you leaving me for so long, or even coming back and forgetting me again.”
Robert thought about what had happened today. If it had been before, he might have risked trying to capture Jayson.
But now he had somebody to worry about.
So he couldn’t gamble and face up against Jayson, to test if he’d take them all down with him.
“I won’t. If I can still survive, from now on, I’ll keep on living until I come back to you. I want to grow old with you and watch Annie grow up, get married herself.”
The two held each other intimately and spoke their loving words.
After a long while, Georgia asked a question out of curiosity.
“What happened today?”
Robert slowly explained what had happened during the day.
Georgia was both nervous and fearful at hearing it all, until Robert finished, and she gave him a rewarding kiss.
“That was the right thing to do today. You were sure it was Jayson Mathis behind the scenes, and he’s lost everything. There was no need to bet on the bomb not going off with your own life. Coming back to me and your daughter was the most important thing.”
Robert was all the more pleased with her praise.
