She was trying not to think about the next morning. She was trying but not succeeding. He had to pack. She tried to be in there when he started but every item tucked away in his suitcase was one less thing she would have at the house. One more reminder that he wasn't there with her. She started to cry so she went to another part of the house and kept herself busy so he could finish.
The clomping of him coming down the stairs triggered her that he was probably done so she called out "In the kitchen!"
He put his suitcase, backpack, and laptop by the door and went to join her in the kitchen. Immediately he could tell she had been crying and his heart hurt.
He warmed up some leftover pizza and sat at the table with her on his lap. "I love you so much."
While he ate she curled up against him and nuzzled his neck. He'd been telling her that he loved her a lot since informing her about the trip. She was insecure. It was no secret and she hated that it hurt him. If she could have helped it, she would have but the best she could do was attempt to be strong so he didn't have to feel guilty. It wasn't an easy act to keep up.
"I love you too" She whispered against the hollow of his throat. Her hands slid around him and held him. Her hands balled in his shirt but she wouldn't cry again. Not if she could help it. "You all packed?"
As much as telling her loved her was to comfort her it was also to comfort his own breaking heart. He couldn't stand the fact that it was going to be a month before he'd say it again in person so he was trying to get a month's worth of I love yous in before he left.
He nodded and held the pizza out for her to take a bite. "Yep, everything is by the stairs ad I have my clothes already for tomorrow." He dug his nose in the crook of her neck. "I have a whole folder of pictures of you. It's not going to be enough but it will have to do."
