"Oh my, sweetie, he was mad." Lindsay dropped onto her bunk, a smile spreading across her face. "He's the SEAL you were talking about last night?"

Delaney set the teddy bear on the bed and replied through tight lips, "Yes. Perhaps the most aggravating man on the face of the planet."

"And the sexiest. Wow." She fanned herself.

The movement made Delaney's anger spike even more. "Don't get too excited. The man doesn't have a heart."

"No heart?" Lindsay's eyes widened. "Who cares? With a body like that, who needs a heart?" She reached for her boots and slipped a socked foot into the left one.

"I do." Delaney stared down at the stuffed animal.

"Did he give you the bear?"

"No, that was from his best friend."

"Oh." Lindsay clamped her lips closed for a second, then opened them again. "The one who proposed? I take it mister macho saw the whole thing and wasn't too happy."

Delaney nodded, the tension knotting her shoulders. She rolled her neck. "He has no right to be mad. If he didn't want Cory to go after me, all he has to do is tell Cory I'm his girl."

"But he won't."

"No."

"And you want him to."

"Yes." Delaney slumped onto her cot. "I want it so much, it hurts."

"I'm sorry."

"Me too." Her lips twisted as she stared across the narrow aisle between their cots. "You didn't sign on to hear my whining about men. I'll stop dumping my troubles on you."

"Honey, I've been eating sand for six months. Your love life is a breath of fresh air and helps to break the monotony. Dump away." She shoved her foot into the other boot and pulled the laces tight. "Unfortunately, I'm on duty in fifteen and I want to stop by the mess tent for a bite on the way. Save it all for me when I get off tonight. That is, if you're not working. Do be careful, if you are. I like having a roommate."

Delaney hugged the woman. "Thanks. I appreciate your patience and the shoulder to cry on."

"Anytime. Just stay out of my workspace."

Delaney frowned.

Lindsay smiled. "In other words, don't get injured or sick. I love seeing you, but not for those reasons." She stepped through the door, calling back over her shoulder, "See you later."

Left alone, Delaney dressed in her flight suit and boots and headed for her helicopter to talk with the maintenance crew. She wanted to do a complete check on the systems and assess any damage incurred when the bullets had been flying the night before. Arriving at night, she hadn't gotten a good look at the craft. She hoped the work would take her mind off her personal problems long enough to calm down. She'd need to get some sleep. The missions she flew were invariably at night and she'd need to be at her sharpest. Military matters trumped matters of the heart any day.

Or so she told herself.
