"Hello, darling. I just wanted to hear your voice before we left Hillside Lake. We are soon to set out."

"Okay. I am waiting for you to come home as soon as you can. I have a surprise for you!"

"What is it? You're up to with something again, huh? But I can't wait to see it."

"I missed you so much already. I want to kiss you now and hold you tight," said Vincent. 

"I missed you too. I can't sleep without you beside me." Hailee purred like a kitten.
