“No, when did you find out?” Her eyes narrowed. “Just this morning.” He mentally cursed Howard for telling Mary before he’d even seen Scarlett. “I know it’s complicated, but I looked into married quarters on station before my flight-“ “What?” Her voice rose, which was as good as a Mayday when it came to her…

“Taking a gap year, actually,” the employee answered, waving up at me. “You’re not helping,” Noah said quietly, but I still heard him. “But Zach is employed here, and you dying would probably really mess up his job, so I think you can trust that he’s a professional.” “You move and I swear I’ll kick…

That made perfect sense. “Warning-always right.” She scoffed,…
