Mark's voice, slightly raspy, informed her, "I've got work in Yarmose, so I'll be here for three days."

"Work in Yarmose, huh?" Trying to sound indifferent, she added, "I've got shoots, so I won't have much free time for you, Mr. Evans."

There was warmth in Mark's response.

"It's been a week. Don't you miss Olivia and Edwin? I'm thinking of bringing them over during Edwin's school break. Sound good?"

She missed the kids, and truth be told, she missed Mark too. But sometimes, a little distance made things more interesting.
