Tony stumbled back half a step at the unexpected glomp, arms wrapping around her shoulders.  “Good to see you, too,” he replied, leaning away enough to look at her.

She looked nearly as bad as when he’d come back from Malibu; dark-circled eyes, exhaustion slumping her shoulders, no sparkle. But she managed an honest, if small, smile for him, and let go. “Can I beg a massage from you? My family is nuts, and three days of eight of us in the old family home — ” she shook her head, sighing. “I just want to cuddle up close to you and kiss you and not think about it for a while. And I’ve got your present.”
