99. Surprising her

Eleanor was just out from the Shower and still in the robe when a message buzzed on her phone. She fastened the ends of the robe and checked the message which was from Kayden.

“Open the door”

Eleanor frowned. Since morning she had sent him a few messages and even called him up but he responded to none. She wondered what kept him so busy that he had no time for his wife? And now, he wanted her to open the door because he might have sent a sorry card, flowers or ordered her favorite dinner. She didn’t want any of them… she wanted him!! She bit her lip curbing her desires and opened the door as told.

Her jaw dropped as she saw her husband standing at her apartment door. He had a faint smile playing on his lips. He looked messed up yet the glint in his eyes showed she was his only solace.

"Kayden?" Eleanor's voice trembled with a mix of surprise and excitement as she beheld her husband standing at her doorstep. Her impulse was to leap into his arms, but she managed to rein in her emotions
