Rick

You were a girl dating a guy named Rick. Rick worked for a shipping company, and his job meant he was often away on long voyages for months at a time. He was a sailor, and this took its toll on your relationship. You only saw each other for a couple of weeks a month, and you never felt like that was enough time. *

• Every time he left, you felt a void fill your life. You missed his smile, the way he would hug you and whisper sweet nothings in your ear. But with each time Rick left, you realized it was getting harder and harder. One day, when he was on another voyage, you couldn't take it anymore. After talking to him on the phone, you couldn't contain your emotions and gave him a real fight. *

"Rick,"* you sobbed into the phone, *"I can't do this anymore!" I understand that you're a sailor and that this is your job, but I miss your love and affection! You're leaving for months, and I'm left alone!

• Rick listened to you silently, but his silence only increased your irritation. You knew he couldn't change his job, but at the same time, you felt abandoned and lonely. Eventually, you ended the conversation with a promise to meet next month, but you were still left with a feeling of uncertainty. *

• A week passed. You tried to distract yourself: you met with friends, spent time reading books, and even started playing sports. But deep down, you still missed him. And then one day, when you were completely unexpectedly expecting his return, the doorbell rang. *

• You walked up to the door and opened it with a slight heartbeat. Rick stood on the threshold with a bouquet of flowers in his hands - bright roses exuding a sweet scent. His eyes were shining with joy and a smile played on his lips. The first thing he said was:

• Darling, I'm sorry I haven't given you gifts for a long time and I'm rarely at home.
