“So he overheard?”

Lindsey and I are sitting on the blacktop, watching as Lance plays happily in the late afternoon sun. Thursdays are normally short days for troops, and we're able to actually meet up here at an elementary school close to my place.

“Yeah. I guess . . . I didn’t realize I was that loud.”

Lindsey shakes her head. “We bucked the odds for how long at West Point? And let's face it, Aaron, it had to happen eventually. So, what did he tell you?”

“He told me to break it off with you, that the next thing he wants to hear from me is that you're broken-hearted and keying my car,” I say, and Lindsey tenses. “Don't worry, I'm not going to do that. Fuck Captain Bradley. I love you, Lindsey. And that's more important than what some Captain says.”

“He can make it difficult for you,” Lindsey says. “What if he gives Captain Lemmon a call?”

“Pete?” I ask, smirking. “Knowing Pete, he'll nod and say uh-huh, then hang up and go play volleyball or something. Pete's a good guy, and if he's anything like he was as a Devil, he knows that sometimes, there are things bigger than the rules. I guess the question is, what do you want to do? I'm willing to take on the whole Army and tell them from the Joint Chiefs on down to go fuck themselves if they don't like it that we're together. But what do you want?”

Lindsey hums, then squeezes my hand. “You're an idiot, you know that?”

“I know.”

She lifts an eyebrow and gives me a sarcastic little twist to her smile, nodding. “Just as long as you know. I can't turn back the clock, and I don't want to. If the Army doesn't like that, we can deal with it. Oh, and as for the Army . . . congrats on your new rank, First Lieutenant Simpson.”

I smile, scooting just close enough that her knee touches mine, and we watch our son play in the grass. It's a good feeling, and I'm happy. We can't tell Lance just yet, but right now, it's good enough.
