You were working late in the night for some last minute work that your client had decided to spring on you. Normally, you wouldn't bother to accept their request but this was a client that had been with you since you had first started in the business. 

Even Lena was surprised about how late you were working considering she would be the one that would have late night work. She was heading to bed but stopped by the middle of the stairs to call for you.

"Love? Come on now. Let's go get some sleep."

"I'm coming. Just give me a couple of minutes."

Lena knew you weren't going to move from the table until an hour from now. Once you put your mind to something, hardly anything pulled you out of it so she had to try harder. She walked back downstairs.

"Love, please? I'm tired and you must be tired as well. Let's go to bed."

You turned around to face her, knowing that she wasn't going to quit.

"Just give me a little longer. My client really needs this to be done by tonight and I can't fail him. He was my first client that took a chance on me and my work."

You tried explaining to her why this was so important to you.

She pouted, not liking the fact that you wouldn't listen to her.

"Fine. I guess I'll go lay in our bed where it's all lonely." She took a couple of steps to get closer to the stairs. "All by myself, with no one to cuddle with." Taking more steps while she talked. "Sad, in need of my wife's soft tou--"

You couldn't help but roll your eyes at how dramatic she could get. You loved her for it. 

"Oh hush. I'm closing my computer."

Pleased with your answer, she moved to head to bed.

"I love you!" She yelled before running up the stairs

You couldn't believe this was the same person that ran a multi-billion dollar company. It didn't matter though, you loved her goofy side.
