Absence Makes The Game Grow Fonder

(I am leaving the next day for a two and a half week trip to Ireland with my family. My partner and I, both male, are cuddling in bed. We are both gamer geeks, and have recently gotten into a new game.)

Boyfriend: “We need to get up and go for dinner early. I wanna get back here and play [game].”

Me: “Really? It’s my last night here before you don’t see me for over two weeks, and you want to spend the evening playing [game]?”

Boyfriend: “Don’t you?”

Me: “…yes.”
