Owen Forrester watched his daughter leave the room with a mixture of pride and exasperation. He was familiar with the feelings warring inside him. They'd been there from the day the girl took her first step. His independent little girl racing toward the future without even a nod for reality.

"You've done too good a job, Forrester," he mumbled as he reached for another cigarette and lit up. He'd done his damnedest to see to it that his daughter was so safe and secure and spoiled that she never had to worry about a thing. The result of his efforts was the beautiful, headstrong young woman who couldn't see what was happening right before her very eyes.

He rose from his chair and walked over to the window that looked out over the front yard. War was coming. He didn't know where or when, but he could hear the drumbeat in the distance, calling them to battle and when it came, he wanted his daughter as far away from danger as possible.

From across the room his late wife's photograph smiled at him across the years. "I wish you were here, Marguerite," he said out loud. "Maybe you would know how to handle this.” An unmarried daughter with no skills, no ambition, and no suitor on the horizon. A married son with a pregnant wife whose beauty and brains would never counteract the liaibility of her race.

Whoever said war was hell hadn't tried to bring up two children on his own.
