“Wouldn’t expect anything less Mr Roberts.”
I hop off the vanity and walk into the shower, Doug follows me in and we shower together, grinning at each other stupidly. Mondays really aren’t so bad when you wake up to this.
Sitting at the kitchen table drinking my coffee Doug walks in, looking scrummy in one of his trademark three-piece suits.
“Do you want a coffee before you leave?”
“I can’t Sophie. I’m sorry, I really do need to go.” He frowns, kneeling down in front of me, taking my hands in his.
“I want to do something special tonight, before I have to go away again. What would you like to do?” I look into his eyes, so full of love and warmth.
“Anything with you is special. Can we cook? Stay in, snuggle. We won’t get to do that for a while.” he kisses me softy.
“Sounds perfect, shall I pick you up from yours after work?”
“That would be nice, I’ve got a day off tomorrow so I can stay at yours and not have to rush to get out.” I smile, kissing his fingers.
“You’re off tomorrow?” he looks surprised that I haven’t told him.
“Yes, why?”
“Well, I have the morning free. We can spend some time together before I leave Wednesday.” he looks like a child at Christmas.
“Well that sounds like a plan.” We kiss again and then he leaves, blowing me a kiss as he goes. Soppy arse, I smile to myself.

My second bridal meeting of the day is why I love my job. The future bride, Adele, is undergoing treatment for cancer and is marrying her childhood sweetheart.
“So there I was, bald, crying my eyes out and telling him to leave, that I was ugly and revolting and he could do so much better, when he drops to one knee, tells me life wouldn’t be worth living if I wasn’t his wife and pulled out the most gorgeous ring.” she smiles at the memory.
“It made me cry harder, but I managed to say yes!”
“Wow. Just... Wow .” Holding my hand to my heart and wiping at my eyes I can hardly talk through my emotions.
“I know...” she says dreamily. “So this wedding, it means more to me than anything, that he wants to be with me, even when I look like this. It has to be perfect, Sophie.”
Her eyes are filled with self doubt and emotion I can’t put my finger on. Taking her hand, I look her in the eyes.
“Adele, you are beautiful. You are courageous, how could he not want to be with you?” she wipes at her eyes and smiles.
“You’re going to do my make up right?” she laughs, “I have to have you do my make up.” I laugh, wiping my eyes too.
“Of course I am. It will be an absolute honour.”
We sit, chatting for ages. I feel like I’ve known Adele for years. She is incredible, so strong and I am in awe of her. We fill in all the paperwork and make arrangements to meet in a few weeks to go over some make up ideas. Hugging at her front door, I walk with a spring in my step and a smile on my face. I reach into my bag when I reach my car and dial Doug, I just need to talk to him.
“Sophie.” he breathes into the phone “You okay?”
“Doug, I’m fab! I’ve just had a meeting with the most amazing lady. She is... she is just amazing!” I gush, smiling like an idiot.
“She wants me to do her make up for her wedding. I feel so honoured.”
“You sound so happy.” I can hear his smile.
“Are you okay?” I ask, starting the car.
“I’m good too, busy but good.”
“I’ll let you go, I didn’t mean to interrupt, you were just the first person I thought of after the meeting, I just wanted to share it with you, you know?” I rambled.
“Sophie, you’re not interrupting me, I want to share in all your happiness.” feeling a rush of affection for him, I wish I was with him.
“I love you so much Doug, you know that don’t you?”
“I do. I love you
