So to have coffee with you

Like any other couple, we fight each other. And like any other man, my ego will put me in a spot, where it is hard to go back and apologize. Sometime it was so bad that we ended up not talking to each other for the whole day. But with time, we realized that it is better to put it off as soon as possible and I looked for creative ways to get my sanity back. Here is an incident that almost makes me think that it is alright if you fight once in a while:

Another night, we got into this again and went to bed with a clear line drawn in between us. The sun came back after taking a round and our anger had still not worn off. She prepared my lunch pack and kept it on the counter-top, where I could see and pick it up myself. I finished my breakfast after the morning routine and came looking for the lunch pack. Call it the spur of the moment, the Newton's apple dropped and I had the whole plan scripted out in front of me to end this war. I knew she is not even going to come to the door to say bye, so I deliberately didn't pick up the lunch pack and left quickly. I almost ran to my car and drove away, before she can figure out my mischief.

As expected, my phone rang before I could even settle down, open my work email inbox and start hitting delete monotonously. It was her:

me - what?
her - You left your lunch here (and btw you are such an idiot).
me - Oh really, I did'nt realize.
her - You did that cause you are mad at me?
me - No, why would I do that? I probably forgot (smiling).
her - I know you. Do you want me to come to your office?
me - (it was working, in a slow voice) Well if it is not too much trouble for you.
her - See you there.

She drove to my office. I came down and looked at her red eyes. She had a faint monalisa smile, as if she already knew that I wanted to get over this one. I asked her to park and come in for a coffee. She resisted, well she would never say yes to anything anyway when I ask first, so I insisted. She nodded a reluctant yes and we got two cold coffee. She was ready to go back and then all of a sudden I murmured, should I come back with you? She looked at me puzzled and asked - why did you call me here then? So to have coffee with you, I said (and looked in other direction hiding my cunningness). By now, she knew what I was up to and asked - this is only 11:00, you don't have much work? I said, I can work from home. But what about your car, she asked with innocence. I almost laughed and said you can drive your car and I will mine and we will meet back home. She smiled big this time caught in the moment of her own silliness.
