She nodded a little.  " Absolutely I will miss you.  You have been most tolerant of my less than impressive coping abilities today. Fortunately for your relief, I will have had time to adjust. Ron would be a good choice, although I bet Elias and I could trade make up tips... maybe I can pick up a few pointers to make the girls really look bigger."  She teased glancing down at her chest.  It had not escaped her that her earlier transformation was hard for him to handle.  "Kidding!"  She said.  "As you saw tonight, it might improve tips, but it also adds to the harassment." 

She laughed as he grabbed her foot and tugged, before moving her other foot to rest on his thigh.  She let her head fall back biting her lip on a moan of relief.  "You cook, you clean, you run the perfect baths, you give incredible massages."  She paused glancing at his hands looking for a ring. She didn't notice one, but in his line of work, and with as closed off as he was to keep the personal and professional separate he might just not wear one. 

 "Is there a Mrs. Serge at home? Because if there is, I think for the first time in my adult life I am jealous of another human being."  She teased reaching for her tea holding it between both hands, letting her fingers wrap around the mug absorbing the warmth.  "I don't mean to be intrusive, I guess I am curious.  Not necessarily just about you, but whether or not it is possible to work a job like yours, like the one I want, and be married to someone other than the job."  

She let her body relax under the gentle strokes of his massage.  "I imagine it would be difficult, unless you had someone who understood the demands."  She sipped her tea sighing softly.
