Luna Marine
“Jack’s mother was very much aflutter, now that they were back on her home turf. “I simply can’t believe that you’re finally home!”
Jack felt uncomfortable with the attention. “Yeah, it’s really great to be back. And, uh, thanks again for coming down to see me yesterday.”
“Well, I wouldn’t have missed your graduation for the world!” It had been something of a surprise. She’d taken the maglev down to Beaufort and come out to Parris Island to watch his graduation ceremony, and that, Jack knew, had... been truly and act of devotion above and beyond the call of duty. They didn’t have that much money to begin with…and South Carolina in July was not exactly a vacation spot anymore, with its global warming-augmented temperatures, high humidity, and enthusiastic insect population.
