How do we know we won't both end up at the same place?" Do you care? Do you really care? He is supposed to be at a meeting exchanging secret passwords... and secret handshakes and whatever other nonsense they do. If you run into him you get your confrontation sooner rather than later. But you do stop with your co-workers after work for a drink every now and then and he knows the places you stop, right?

Like I could think about anything else?" she mumbled, and it was clear she was already trying to sort things out.Beth looked startled when I got up to leave.

I had two CQ runners from two different platoons. One was female and the other male.

We would see how it turned out. It had never happened.
