It was four thirty in the morning and Preston had already called Delight and it was off to PT to start off another Army day. Since he was working independently on his tour he worked out by himself until he had to report to the Main Post Chapel at 0900 hours. Preston loved to work out on a consistent basis whenever he could, because it gave him some sort of sculpture to his life physically. Whenever he trained, it caused him to eat healthier, stay awake during the early morning hours of the civilian world and ultimately he felt like he was glorifying God by keeping a perfect body active. He was always a firm believer that working out was a form of worship, because he did not feel like God called human beings just to sit around and be couch potatoes!

“This sure does feel good to get my sweat on and feel human all over again.” Preston exhaled wiping the sweat from his head at the bench press station. He never felt the day ever went completely right without devoting some time to the Lord and getting his PT in at some point during the day. Then the vague picture of Lustray popped up in his head. “Why can’t I get that girl’s frame out of my head?” He didn’t know her, had a brief conversation with her, and nothing more. “I think when I get done working today I’m going to give her a call just to convince myself that she’s nothing to keep daydreaming about.”

Preston flipped the phone around nervously as he flicked through channels trying to figure out when would be the best time to call. Maybe around seven, he thought. He figured by then if she was cooking he would know that she actually cooked and if she worked she would be home by then. So either way, it was a win, win! The time difference was going to be a killer though and then again. what did he have to lose?

Nine o’clock Eastern Time finally rolled around, so he called with great anticipation and all he could do was think about that sweet, soft, seductive voice that played around in his head like a hit song on the radio 24/7. The phone rang and that sweet voice danced through the receiver as he expected.

“Well, hello there, Mr. Brown, the man with the plan.”

“Hey, Lustray, I told you that I would give you a call and all I had to do was try to find the right time to call so that I could try and hear your voice a little bit.” He knew he shouldn’t have said that. That statement was maybe a little too forward and that would be a sure way to get shut down in the first quarter. The deepest parts of your heart will come out of your mouth when the test of time comes.

Quite the contrary to what Preston expected, she giggled and said, “Well I love the sound of your voice, too.
