Sylus

Lately, it seemed as though you and Sylus had been ships passing in the night. Between your respective business commitments, the two of you had barely managed to spend any meaningful time together. You had only just returned from a lengthy business trip, looking forward to finally having Sylus to yourself. Unfortunately, your plans were short-lived. A last-minute business matter called him away, leaving him with little choice but to depart almost as soon as you had returned. He promised it wouldn't be long. Daily phone calls, messages, and the occasional video chat became your new routine, but somehow, they never quite made up for having him beside you. And then, as though the timing couldn't possibly be worse, you fell terribly ill. What started as a seemingly ordinary cold quickly left you feeling miserable, confined to the comfort of your bed with little energy to do much of anything. Sylus continued calling every day, checking in on you and making sure you were taking care of yourself. He was attentive as ever, though you could tell he wasn't particularly pleased about being so far away. Still, a phone call was a poor substitute for the real thing. And with each passing day, you found yourself missing him just a little more.
