Ok I got a ton of wonderful reviews on my last one-shot, To Die For, telling me to make another one. So here's one I just thought up! Enjoy!

I put on my spandex workout shorts and a blue tank top. I yanked my hair up into a high ponytail and pulled on my running shoes. I was about to walk out the door when I remembered something. I had to send out my gift to my grandparents in Nebraska who are, thankfully, still alive even though I am now twenty-three. I grabbed the large package from my bedroom and decided I would stop at the post office before starting my jog.

I started down the long winding stairs of the apartment building I lived in. It was a very large and expensive building, with a beautiful view of Malibu, California in every room. My friends and I (and our boyfriends/husbands) moved here from Roseville two years ago. The post office wasn't very far so I was there in a matter of minutes. I waltzed in and waited in the short line.

A man that stood behind me asked, "Can I help you with that heavy package ma'am?" I turned to look at him. He was about five foot eleven with dirty blonde hair and hazel/green eyes. "Oh, no thank you. It actually is not that heavy and I am here to exercise," I answered with a smile. "Oh, really? I thought you were a circus performer!" he said with a chuckle. I laughed lightly and replied, "Oh yeah, and the box is part of my act. You know I can fit inside this?" He let out a laugh and so did I even though it wasn't completely a joke. I probably could fit in there, with my spy training and working in the CIA. I was at the front of the line now and I was paying when he said, "I'm Dan by the way. Do you want to go get some coffee after this?" I swallowed hard and a lump formed in my throat. I kept my mask and said, "Um, I would but I'm in a relationship. It was nice talking to you though, bye." I waved as I walked out.

I felt emotions swirl inside of me, sadness, worry, fear. Zach, my husband of two years (we got married before we moved here), also works for the CIA. He is on a mission right now over in Europe and it can last from two weeks to as long as four months. It had already been 6 months and I was afraid that he wasn't coming back, at all. I popped in my earphones as I was running and hit shuffle. "Without You" by Alex Band came on.

"I'm a bird without a sky
I'm a mountain trying to fly
I'm doing the best that I can do
Without you

I'm a sheep in a desert sea
I'm the only one there for me
I'm doing the best that I can do
Without you

Love where'd you go
Oh yeah, I need to know

Those were the best days of my life
Those were the memories that will never die
If I could only turn back time
I would find you and make you mine
I'm doing the best that I can do
Without you

Take these eyes
And learn to see
That we were always meant to be
I'm doing the best that I can do
Without you

Love where'd you go
Oh yeah, I need to know

Those were the best days of my life
Those were the memories that will never die
If I could only turn back time
I would find you and make you mine
I'm doing the best that I can do
Without you
Without you
Without you,"

A tear slipped out of the corner of my eye at the last verse. I was trying so hard to keep calm and collected and I just knew it wasn't working. It was just history repeating itself with my dad. Now I was sobbing but I ran faster, trying also to run away from my emotions, but the tears kept falling.

Then my phone buzzed in my pocket. I pulled it out and it was the Director of the CIA. I controlled my sobs and snapped it open. "Hello?" I nearly yelled. "Hello Cameron, I have news for you." He said. No, not now. He couldn't tell me Zach was MIA now. "Your husband Zach," I took a breath at this part. "He has returned and the mission was a success! He has a debriefing and should be home in a few hours." My heart almost stopped and I squealed, "Thank you director, thank you so much! Bye!" I sprinted home to get ready for when Zach got back.

I unlocked the door and ran inside to see a man sitting on my couch, and that man was Zach. "Zach!" I yelled with happiness. He stood up and ran to me. He lifted me up off the ground in a hug. Tears spilled out as I was overwhelmed with joy. He gave me a big kiss and I said, "I missed you so much, Zach!" He smiled as big as the sun and replied, "Oh I missed you more." I shook my head and said, "I seriously doubt that." I hugged him again and he just smirked. "Same old you," I said. He raised his eyebrows and he said, "And you love it." I hit him playfully and said, "Cocky but true."

Zach talked about the mission and I kissed him after he was done. He gave a confused look and I said, "I'm just so happy you are home." He pulled me into his chest and said, "Me too. It's way too hard without you."

So Very True

So there it is! Thank you so much for my inspirational readers and reviewers! I wouldn't have thought of this one if it weren't for you! Please review!
