Chapter 27.

Jack’s entire body came alive. He couldn’t take his eyes away from her shadow.

It had been ages since he’d held a woman in his arms. In his position as senior officer, it was nearly impossible to get laid while in Iraq.

Eyes burning, he didn't even blink as her tall, graceful silhouette came and went from his view. Jack didn’t want to miss a thing.

God, she's beautiful.

No sex for years and before that? A chance meeting with another officer during training. That had been a simple fling, sexual relief for both. As expected, after very little time, PCS (Permanent Change of Station) orders separated them.

It had been forever since Jack held a woman he cared for, like he cared for Laura. Had he ever felt as close to a woman like he felt close to her?

Jack shook his head. Stupid stupid stupid.

And yet in his heart, he didn’t think so.

During their months of correspondence, he'd looked forward to Laura’s every letter. Now that he’d met her, the fluttering in his gut had become relentless. He had Laura herself, to look forward to.

Jack had fantasized, of course. He’d even imagined making love to Laura countless times, before he even knew what she looked like. It had only been his imagination. Vivid imagination, yes, but fantasy, nonetheless.

Here and now—only feet away, behind that door—was the real thing.

He remembered Bob’s picture on her bookcase. Not forgotten, indeed. Yet his sister Sally’s blunt words ran through his mind: He has no use for her now, does he? If you two have a thing for each other, why let that go to waste? Life’s too short to dick around.

Despite his sister’s proclamation, because of the awkward and ethically challenging circumstances, there was no way they could be together.

Could they?

“Hello. You still there?” Laura called out. “I asked if you’d ever been here before.”

He cleared his throat. "New Bern, you mean?" Jack managed to croak, just barely. "No. Seems like a nice place."

"Yeah, it's nice," Laura said. Jack could see her shadow again, appearing once more against the wall. She was doing something with one leg.

Stockings?

"Nice, and quiet. I like it quiet," she continued. “It's good to live in a town where they roll the streets up at night."

"I agree. Peaceful is good, but in LA, I can buy a book or get a steak dinner at three A.M. There's something to be said about that—it's the freedom to do what you want, whenever you want."

Laura came out, brushing her hair. It was as shiny as a brand new penny.

"That's not freedom,” she said. “You get stuck in all of that hurrying here and there and buying stuff—that's gross consumerism. Here, you stop and breathe in the air and don't worry about getting somewhere on time because the traffic's jammed up even in the middle of the night. I take the time to walk, stop and look around because I don't have to be anywhere. That's freedom—being able to buy stuff anytime isn't. That people feel
