Markus had been contently doodling on his hand and wrist, staying with Arthur as he went back to working. He noticed the message when Agnes was already asleep, though he still replied anyways -not knowing if she’d see it before or after sleeping.
“Until then.”, he wrote and added a small heart to it, just because he wanted to.
Agnes woke up at exactly the right time to get ready and leave the next morning. She saw the message as she was washing off her arm, writing a heart back.
She went to work prepared for the business trip, but ready to reunite with her eccentric boss as well. As they travelled to the airport, they chatted happily. She fell asleep after she got on the plane.
Markus didn’t do much different from usual. He listened to his podcast or to Arthur writing a new book. He doodled on his arm as well, just to brighten Agnes’ day a little. Hopefully. He hadn’t made art in so long, drawing nothing. It was nice to doodle again though.
