{knock at door}

{from couch} "It's open."

{Josh enters, looking disheveled}

"Josh..."

"Hi..."

{tackles in a hug and kisses} "I missed you so much..."

{hugs back tightly} "I missed you too...I felt like shit without you."

{pulls back, speaks in a rush} "I'm sorry. I should have stayed home, I should have, I don't know, faked getting sick. I could have faked a temperature, I could have made myself throw up--"

{interrupting} "No! No, I don't want that. I'm just really glad we can be together now."

"Promise?"

"Promise."
