Closing her own eyes, she took a deep breath, inhaling the scent of him as he held her. "Did you really think I would ever deny you this?" She asked softly and kissed his nose tenderly. "Never in a million years." She whispered.

Jo wrapped her arms around his neck and clung to him, never wanting to let him go. "I missed you. Every second I missed you," she confessed with a small blush. Her heart rate sped up just a little as she sat with him, reveling in the warmth and comfort that he gave her.

From the corner of her eye, she watched the fire dance in the fireplace and let out a long, contented sigh. "I still am mad though. You got to spy on me all the time, and yet I couldn't see you at all!" She pouted and bit her bottom lip to keep from smiling or laughing as she pretended to be angry.
