Marina got off the couch and began pace back and forth Lily I begged her not to that we had more time. I accused her of giving up, not loving me enough to stay and fight. I told her I would hire somebody to be wither when I could not. Lily was crying now as well. I screamed and yelled at her.

I ordered Chinese and had a beer. I asked Jodie to come over. She walked through the door. I kissed her and undid her cargo pants and did her right against the door.

“What got into you?” Jodie asked.

“I had a great day, that’s all” said Marina.

“Al…That was great but we still need to talk” said Tasha, “I read some of your journal today. The letter…How come you did not give it to me before you left? Joining some ops force, I was so proud and mad as hell at you at the same time. I know you believe IN the army but I am mad that you want to take all these risks that would get you killed and I would be all alone and not have any fucking answer to why you’re not here”
