Her warm welcome doesn't really make him think there's something wrong just yet, that there's something serious she actually wants to talk about. She's never wanted to have a serious talk of any sort, after all, and so far he sees no reason why that would change.

He smiles when she comes over, his free hand cupping her cheek and neck as he returns that kiss slowly, enjoying every last bit of it, and reluctantly pulling away when she breaks that contact.

"Yes. Well-- it was a little more difficult to get through all the work and meetings after your text."

His tone and expression only show more how he's wrongly thinking tonight is headed towards exciting and fun times. His smile sharpens a hint as he shrugs off his blazer and drapes it over the back of the couch, stepping closer to her again and reaching for her waist once she sets the bags down.

"I was so very looking forward to seeing you too."
