Seeing him, longing surged inside her.

Chester Robinson frowned, "Do you really want to separate from me so completely?"
Alice Robinson replied quietly, "I told you, I don't want to see you. I want some time to cool down."
"But I can't bear to be apart from you. I miss you so much. Being apart from you, I can't focus on work. All I think about is you."
Chester reached out and pulled Alice into his arms.
