Tom let his shoulders relax when he heard Jo’s voice, practically dropping his work back before rushing to the kitchen. “You’re here! You’re really here!” His face was plastered with joy, and he ran over and wrapped his arms around her middle, hugging her tightly and spinning them around a few times.. “I thought you weren’t going to be back for another couple weeks?” He asked, pulling back from the hug to look at her face. It had been far too long since he’d last seen her. Talking on the phone and messaging were great, but it was nothing like being together again.
While the blonde had known Tom would be excited to see her, she hadn’t quite expected such a joyous reaction and had just barely had time to set down the whisk as he closed the distance into the kitchen.
Jo couldn’t help the squeak that flowed from her lips as she was scooped up and spun around. “Tom!” she said with a laugh, cheeks pink. “The job I was headed for turned out to be a bust so… I figured I’d drop in,” she said with a grin, cupping his cheek. She flicked her eyes over his face, wanting to commit his smile to memory, before she leaned in to kiss him tenderly. How could she not kiss him after a greeting that exuberant? He was much too adorable, she just couldn’t help herself.
Tom was surprised but delighted at the kiss from Jo. He kissed her back, moving his hand to cup her face. As he pulled out of the kiss, he gave her a little peck before fully pulling away. A soft smile returned to his face as he looked at Jo. “That’s the best news I’ve heard all day. Best surprise ever,” he added, pulling her into another hug. “Are you cooking for me? I smell bacon.”
