Duty: a Secret Baby Romance
“It's a lot different from any other way I've celebrated the Fourth of July, even if it is a bit lonely.
The grand finale starts, blast after blast going off over the water, and even though I'm miles away, I'm buffeted by the sounds that pepper the air. I feel bad for any PTSD vets in the area. They've got to be going through hell listening to that, so much like artillery or even machine gun fire. I can understand why there were safety notices on the radio as I drove into the area.
Mom a...nd Dad don't understand why I insisted on driving to Washington a few days early, but at least they didn't say anything about it. I guess after having me hang around the house for a week more or less constantly moping, they figured that they'd ask their questions later. I'm glad for that, because right now, I'm not sure I could trust myself to give the answers that they need to hear.
The truth is, I miss him. Walking away from that security checkpoint before he could say goodbye was the hardest fucking thing I've done in my entire life, and my last two weeks at the Academy before going on leave were pure hell.MoreLess
